what a fabulous explanation!  I love it!  It would also explain why 
Harry gets such lovely presents as a single tissue.  Petunia had it 
in her hand at the time.  And Hedwig wouldn't know tissue from gift 
wrap.  I was definitely wondering HOW Harry got presents from the 
Dursleys because they would never willingly use something as 
obviously WW-ish as owl post.  Unless, as you suggest, it was to get 
rid of said owl.
