I agree that we have a great gap in canon -- which is why we need 
more information.

As far as DD and Petunia being in regular communication during the 
period, I'm afraid JKR has already ruled it out.  She has said on 
her website that "Remember my last" referred to the letter 
Dumbledore had left in Harry's basket in 1981.  This would mean that 
they have not had private contact (as opposed to official 
communications from Hogwarts) for almost fifteen years.
