take this to mean that she saw Harry and Dudley and what they did, 
but not the dementors, although she felt them.  DD would have 
questioned her about it, and figured out what the dementors were 
doing, and coached her on it.

Tonks here:

I don't think that DD coached her, or if he did he didn't tell her 
to lie. DD has a thing about lying, he doesn't believe in doing it 
himself so I don't think that he would ask her to. I think she 
rehearsed it like many of us would in a situation like that. We 
would go over and over again in our mind what we would say. And she 
was embarrased about being a Squib and on her own came up with a bit 
of a lie. Course, she was under oath and that was not good, but she 
was trying to help Harry so one could understand why she would do 
it. It was good that she said "that is what happened" instead 
of "that is what I saw". Because if she had said the second then her 
whole testimony would probably have been thrown out.
