A Thought About Petunia Dursley (Harry's Aunt)

Good Morning To My Fellow Wizards & Witches!!

I think that it is more than obvious that Aunt Petunia's contempt for
Harry and especially his mother Lily, is stemmed from her jealousy. 
Petunia grew up hating Lily because Lily was a witch who was a top
Hogwarts student and Petunia was a pathetic muggle.  However, what
puzzles me is Petunia behaves very much like a Scrubb, the offspring of
a Witch and Wizard who has no powers. We know that Lily was muggle-born
as it has been stated several times throughout the novels. Yet, in the
first book and in the first movie, when young Harry and the Dursleys met
Hagrid for the first time and Petunia admitted in her monologue the
family's well-kept secret, she stated that her parents, "were so proud
that her sister got her letter". Why would they have been proud? Were
they wizards as well? Petunia was versed in wizardry as we saw in Order
of the Phoenix.  Could it be that Petunia was indeed a scrubb??

What do you all think?
