abergoat adds:
I do think this is the root of the Petunia mystery. HOW did DD get
Petunia to take Harry? As  refresher, this is how unwilling Petunia
was in DD's own words:

Albus Dumbledore, OoP Ch 37
"But she took you," Dumbledore cut across him. "She may have taken you
grudgingly, furiously, unwillingly, bitterly, yet still she took you,
and in doing so, she sealed the charm I placed upon you. Your mother's
sacrifice made the bond of blood the strongest shield I could give you."

Abergoat continues:
Not for one moment has Petunia ever seemed to give Harry one thing
more than she absolutely had to without the British-equivalent of
child services being called in. She has always been shown in an very
selfish light, so I'm sure there was something in the Privet Drive
protection for her - which seems to be supported by Dumbledore giving
her the secret of Grimmauld Place, twice.

Per Harry's challenge in the GoF maze when his world was turned upside
down I think we will see Harry's housing situation turned upside down
- where he is giving a home and protection to the Dursleys.
