Theory on Petunia

I have finally put together a theory that hits close to home (I hope 
I am not just redoing someone else's idea)...

Petunia has House Elf in her blood, which would qualify for having 
*more* to her (humanness).  She keeps a suspiciously clean home, and 
identifies her self worth too closely with it.  She also really 
seems to obey the master of the house.  She has her own kind of 
magic ; )  !  She would not know about it, though, and could 
discover it as follows: 

With JKR's remarks tonight about wand use, it got me to thinking.  
If a Half-Blood-Elf-Petunia were to try to wield Harry's wand in an 
emergency, she would be sent an owl informing her that she had 
broken the ban on wand use by non-wizards.  We might be treated to a 
page of the description of Mr. Dursley's face.

I suppose she would have to be Lily's half-sister for this to work.


Too bad about Dumbledore...I guess I lost $5 to my MIL  : (  

BTW, is Fawkes "really dead" before he rises from the ashes?
