Tonks:
Well now JKR says that the Squib guess is a good one, but not
correct. And that Petunia is a Muggle. That doesn't mean that
Petunia didn't give up the possibility of being a witch at some
point to continue to live as a Muggle. I have wondered about that
myself. She might have given it up for Vernon, without his knowing
it. Or as the previous poster said decided against it when she got
the letter. So I don't think that this inteview disproves this
theory.
