Frisbee K:

Just another thought- what if the Evanses were like the Weasleys - specifically Mr. Weasley?  What if Lily's dad or mom was the muggle equivalent of the dept of magic and mysticisms in muggles with the same sort of fascination Arthur Weasley has?  Compound this with Lily being like Hermoine (a witch in a family full of muggles) - it would be a dream come true for a magical researcher. So Petunia hears all about magic but gets slighted because she's well...normal in a muggle family and Lily gets to go to Hogwarts and gets the attention because she's the freak her parent(s) always wanted to study.
