  JKR has left so many things unanswered to this point that the REAL 
  truth is only speculation. My opinion is that is very well could be 
  Vernon. I think it would be a blast. He is sooo forceful that magic 
  doesn't exist. Nobody gets that upset unless they are covering it up.

  Ceridwen:
  I think it would be funny if it was Vernon who did the magic late in 
  life. After all his bluster, how could he look himself in the mirror 
  when he shaved? *g* More likely, how will he excuse it to Petunia 
  and Dudley, and of course Harry, who would have to be there and 
  witness it, or we wouldn't know? Now, that would be a scene I'd want 
  to read!

  Filch is definitely a possibility. He had that Kwickspell Course 
  (sp?) that didn't work. Maybe he did learn something from it but 
  didn't have the catalyst to awaken the magic within. Since a lot of 
  fans think there will be a battle at Hogwarts, this will place Filch 
  right in the line of fire, and might be the thing he needs to set the 
  magic to work.

  Mrs Figg is also a possibility, and a sentimental favorite for some 
  fans. Since many fans believe there will be a battle at Privet Drive 
  on Harry's seventeenth birthday, she will be in place, and might, as 
  in the Filch scenario above, get the boost she needs to perform magic.

  JKR has shot down the idea of Dudley being the one. What we see is 
  what we get from him. I think there was more to the shut-down of 
  Petunia doing it than the interview Mike mentioned, but I'm not 
  positive.

  This is a subject where I like speculation, but have no favorite 
  contender in the ring. I'm happy to wait for book 7 and find out 
  that way.

  Wouldn't it be a gas if ...in Vernons terrified rage he accientally gave Petunia a pig snout or something.. <rolling with humor at that thought>

  Ohhhh would she be mad at him.. LOL
