          What if Petunia (Evans) Dursley was also a witch? What House do you 
think she would have been accepted in to?

To me she has this social snobbery about her and an indiffernces to 
those beneath her. She would have been great in Slyhterin but she's 
not pure blood.

  Definitely NOT Gryffindor. She would be a Hufflepuff. No a brave Gryffindor, or a brilliant Ravenclaw. And I don't think her snobbery is malice based but due to meekness so I don't see her as a Slytherin. First if I follow my theory that she is an expelled witch she would know that she has a squib for a next door neighbor. She's be living in fear that her shame would be learned (even a small transgression can be a big deal to a timid person like Petunia). She is also married to Vernon who is psychologically abusive. We see what he does to Harry who has a strong character but what is he doing to his wife? She won't say boo to anything Vernon says. I have a niece and nephew and if I had to raise them there would be no way I'd let my husband treat them, my sister's kids,  like Vernon does to Harry. So since she suffers Vernon's bigotry and domineering attitude do you think she would want to add fuel to the fire by admitting she is a witch? No, she will go along with
 everything he says and go along with his snobbery and disgust.
