Hi Noe, and welcome! :)
I think Tonks gives us a clue in OoP where she says that Metamorphmagus' are
born, not "made" or taught. I think such a condition applied to Petunia (I
know, I know it's a stretch, but JKR is tricky that way) would allow JKR to
say she's a Muggle but there's "more" to her. It may not be Metamorphmagus
at all, however I can imagine if there's one magical trait you can be "born"
with, there might be others we don't know about. Yet, that is :)
Your English is wonderful: while I know Spanish by speaking it, I am certain
I couldn't type a full length post of the sort you did!
