Now noe:
Hi, charme. We know about another magical trait you are born with: 
being a parseltonge ;)

But I don't think Petunia was born with "a special" magical trait 
that later will be developed; I think she was born a witch, with 
capability to do any *magic*. The problem is, until you *show* your 
magic, you are a muggle, by default. 

What I'm wondering about is... what could be Petunia's late magic 
trigger. When I suggested Lily's spell as a trigger, I had two 
possibilities in my mind: 

One: the old blood magic spell could wake up Petunia's latent magic 
if the spell is in danger of breaking.
Two: In orden to maintain the blood spell, Lily transferred some of 
her magic to her sister Petunia?
Well, I like the first one more.

What do you think?
