Alla:

I realised that I did not finish my post. Thanks! I also agree that 
Petunia is likely to be the late bloomer, but what if her magic will 
wake up again after it was binded?

As I said, I know that it is pretty out there. :o)





How long after someone dies do the spells cast keep in effect?  Many are specualting on DD's death in book 7.  I, myself, would hate to see this happen, but if it did, and suppose this theory is correct, would the un-binding be the trigger of the "re-awakening" of the magic?  As for the timing - would Petunia's refusal to go to Hogwarts be the basis of the binding and not Harry being delivered.  This would explain the bitterness.  DD simply took advantage of the binding and used it to say "You owe me one".
