AmanitaMuscaria now :

Whoa! Can you imagine Aunt Petunia not virtually disinfecting Privet 
Drive if Lily or any of Lily's possessions came near it? I can't 
imagine she'd let such things anywhere near her ickle Duddykins!
The books might be disguised, I suppose, but how would they have got 
there? I agree that Vernon, Petunia nor Marge appear to have any use 
for books, unless they were of the 'How to get ahead in business and 
bully others' sort that V. might be interested in ... or 'Bulldog 
breeding for profit' from Marge maybe?
