This looks very probable. Explains Petunia "peering intently out of  
the kitchen window" when Black's on the loose. Explains why JKR  
wouldn't tell us what Dursley saw when attacked by Dementors.

Or by Snape. Remember Petunia's "awful boy" quote.  Recently I have  
come to think about the official mysteries remaining. Why Dumbledore  
trusted Snape? What was in the letters from DD to Petunia? What about  
the families of Hogwarts' teachers (a restricted information  
according to JKR)? What about DD's family? I say there is a strong  
family theme there. Add in this a wedding opening Book 7, Harry  
visiting his parents grave (two family related events) and I say we  
will hear a lot about families in book 7. Is it possible to speculate  
that there is a family link bounding DD and Snape, or maybe that LV  
killed Snape's family, or maybe that DD saved Snape's family? Do  
Bart's suggestion that there is some family event relating the  
Dursley's, the magical world and DD work in this? Yes perfectly.
