I personally presumed that even if she was ignored by her sister, Lily 
would have said SOMETHING about having a baby, maybe not directly to 
Petunia (maybe their parents were still alive? I Have no clue) But a baby 
is big enough news that even people ignoring you would probably have been 
told. Lily might have even TRIED to use it to get back in with her sister? 
You have a baby, I have a baby, lets be friends again?
