Petunia and DD (was DD's courtesy; was re: petunia)

Interesting theory! Mortal danger does seem to be the most likely 
reason for Petunia to protect Harry. There are some holes there 
though.

1. Petunia does not recognise Voldemort's name when Harry mentions it 
even though she does recognise Azkaban. Strangely it does seem that 
she is aware of what Voldy being back might mean!

2. Voldy was perfectly willing to spare Lily. Therefore why would he 
be interested in murdering any of Lily's blood relatives (unless DD 
has been misleading Petunia)

3. IF the letter has been their only correspondence, why would DD 
refer to her as Petunia - surely he would call her Mrs. Dursley. 
Also, Petunia seems to recognise DDs voice. I think they must have 
been introduced at some point. Maybe, even before Harry came along.

I wonder if at some point Petunia considered dumping Harry. DD 
intervened - i.e. remember my last HOWLER!!
