At her website list elves this *is* canon!) JKR says in her posting 
on Petunia, Dumbledore and what turn out to be the *several* letters 
between just these two parties prior to GH:

P.S. It has been suggested that I am wrong in saying that 
Dumbledore's last letter was the one he left on the doorstep with 
baby Harry, and that he has sent a letter since then concerning 
Harry's illegal flight to school. However, both Dumbledore and I 
differentiate between letters sent to the Dursleys as a couple, and 
messages directed to Petunia ALONE. And that's my final word on the 
subject - though I doubt it will be yours :)

That last bit - sounds like a challenge doesn't it? She's enjoying 
baiting us (good for her). But who is us? Just where is she reading? 
because just before that she says "Now let the speculation begin, 
and mind you type clearly, I'll be watching
 "

Well, (hoping I'm typing clearly since it gives me *such* a thrill 
to imagine that maybe, just maybe the great woman herself might 
*really* be watching), ... she hasn't yet 'done' HPfGU at her fan 
sites section, so do we figure at all? Or is it mugglenet we should 
be watching? or immeritus? or the lexicon - clearly she's seen 
the 'open letter' and some of the FAQ's that appeared recently (am 
so glad there were so many answered and in any case the entire 
Edinburgh transcript gave many more besides) suggests she's 
listening out (which of course is a reminder to be polite!!! please).

Anyone got any views on which posts she's watching? Has anyone seen 
a 'Squidward'? (I jest).
