Dilia:
You make an excellent point, Vivian; notwithstanding, what do you
think about the possibilities of Dudley being the one who gains
powers late in life? Seeing that he is a half blood wizard.

vmonte again:
I posted this a while ago but here is why I think that Petunia will 
be a late bloomer:

JKR quote:
"In my books, magic almost always shows itself in a person before age 
11; however, there is a character who does manage in desperate 
circumstances to do magic quite late in life, but that is very rare 
in the world I am writing about."

Before Harry started school at Hogwarts we were told that he had 
magical ability. His magic would manifest itself when he was upset.
Anger, fear, and self preservation could activate Harry's magic.
Petunia would also know what would cause Harry's magic to appear 
since she grew up with Lily and I'm sure she saw the signs in her 
sister.

I think that Petunia has been spoiling and babying Dudley his whole 
life because she is afraid that if he gets upset he may show signs of 
becoming a wizard.

Anyway, I think Petunia has it wrong. I think that it is she who will 
turn out to be a witch. Think about it. It would be the worst thing 
that could happen to Petunia (in her opinion). It would be just the 
kind of thing that JKR would enjoy doing to her.

As far as why Petunia's house is so clean:
Have you ever met people with obsessive compulsive behaviors? 
Petunia has control issues.
