Hi. Although I just joined up on this list I'm going to jump right in. :) 

Interesting idea. I have thought of another thing, that Petunia might be 
a squib. That would explain the distasteful attitude toward anything 
magical, and why she might have married an oaf like Vernon Dursley. I got 
the impression that Petunia's and Lily's parents were muggles, but can't
remember if the book actually states that. An idea further out in left 
field: what if both parents were squibs? (It could happen) That would 
explain why they were so happy that Lily was a witch, and why Petunia so
resented her. Off topic, she reminds me of Hyacinth on Keeping Up 
Appearances, both in temperament and with the sisters all named after 
flowers. 

cheers, M

Luckdragon:

Jo has informed us that Petunia is not a squib. Other info. in the books tells us Lily's parents were muggles not squibs;however, it would be interesting to know where the magic comes from in those who are not born to magic families. Is it a recessive gene and how far back does it go. Did Lily have a magical ancestor with green eyes and is that the differentiating factor in her family as to who will be magical and who will not.
