I'm not completely sold on the idea either...

HOWEVER, given Dobby's admiration of Harry... I wouldn't be surprised 
if there was some "elfblood" on his maternal family's side....

I still think that Petunia is neither witch nor squib.... but  one who 
has chosen to live as a muggle..(wizard arrogance is so great that 
they haven't a word for these types(although mrs. weasley may call 
them "nutters")....but in a way, poor soul....she convinced herself 
that she turned her back on her "witchiness" out of 1. jealousy of her 
sister....2. out of getting a "catch" like Vernon! (shudder).  Perhaps 
Harry never had a god mother because Lily always wanted her sister to 
be a god mother..(what would have convinced Petunia as we know her 
NOW...to accept Harry into her home years ago?!?)

I think Lily and Petunia are closer than we may have previously 
thought..I also think it will be petunia showing latent magical 
abilities. (see...if she had it all along she is not a witch..and if 
she had elf blood she is not a squib....and even if she is....well...a 
squib is someone born of a wizarding family...This would explain 
the "Lily's eyes clue"....Is Harry related to Dobby?(I don't think so) 
But JKR told us someone would be doing magic rather late in 
life....which leads me to believe that it will be either Petunia or 
Dudley!

Wouldn't this be the most fitting end for the Dursleys???---that their 
son could do magic??? LOL

However that leave too many loose ends...which turns me back to 
dudley...

This leads to some interesting questions/dilemmas...

If Harry has houself blood in his veins he could apparate in and out 
of hogwarts.(I'd like this to be one of DD's blunders seeing as there 
would be no climax to HBP..especially since apparently voldy couldn't 
get there so he had snape do it.....) I do love how DD makes Snape pay 
for the liberties he took...(there has to be a reason why Snape wanted 
the DADA teaching position...)Why would snape want this? Is there 
something in the DADA office?

Anyhoo getting off topic.....IMHO it comes down to either Petunia or 
Dudders who are going to do magic "later in life".  Is this why 
Petunia caters to 'Dudders" so much?
