What does anyone think of Petuna & "that awful boy?"
If I remember my teenage years and girlfriends/boyfriends, if a girl 
really liked a certain boy & he did not feel the same, a teenage girl 
would do and say anything to cover up her feelings to others.
Such as:  Didn't you want to date John?  Who him, he's a jerk or "an 
awful boy."

Maybe Petunia actually liked that awful boy and Lily stole him away or 
made fun of her sister with that boy.  Maybe that is one reason why 
Petunia hated her sister so much and since he was part of the WW she 
also hated him.

If it was James, her treatment of Harry seems more logical.  In her 
point of view, Harry could have been her son if Lily hadn't interfered.
