Petunia and Dementors

I'm sorry if these subjects have been discussed into oblivion, but 
I've been reading many, many posts and haven't found much (at least 
lately). I am wondering about what you will all think about my 
theories...
   
  Petunia has a very important role to play at the beginning of the 
next book. She will be the key to Lily and maybe even more of DD's 
insight. In HBP, the ONLY time she reacts to anything that DD says 
is that Harry will come of age next summer. She has something to do, 
information to give to Harry at that time and maybe didn't realize it 
was coming so soon? I like someone else thinking that maybe part of 
the pact was about Dudley, perhaps he was showing some signs of magic 
as a baby. Could Petunia have been visiting her sister sometime in 
October, 16 odd years ago? Maybe not, but she has a very important 
role to play and it definitely has (IMO) something to do with 
Lily, "that awful boy" (Snape? James?) and DD....what do you guys 
think?
   
  Another point I have been pondering, as awful as Harry's childhood 
has been, as many bad memories that he must have, why does he keep 
remembering *only* the memory of his parent's death when attacked by 
Dementors? Everytime I remember people talking about Dementors, they 
make you relive your worst MEMORIES (note the plural) yet all Harry 
remembers is the night his parents were murdered. I think that this 
will come into play. Either on purpose (or being overcome perhaps by 
Dementors) Harry will relive the *entire* night, and see who else 
was in Godric's Hollow the night his parents died. JKR has hinted 
that maybe Voldemort was not alone that fateful night. There might 
have been witnessess, and where better to get this information, then 
his own memories? Opinions?
