bboyminn:

When you say 'ex-Phoenix', I hope you mean 'The Order 
of...' and not the bird.

I first say that I don't believe this theory, but at the
same time acknowledge that it has some merit. Petunia
could very well be Dumbledore's secret eyes and ears on
the muggle world. That is not really that far fetched an
idea. Still, I don't buy it.

But I do want to make one correction, JKR /never/ said
Petunia wasn't a witch. She said she wasn't a Squib and
later said that Petunia never had and never would do 
magic. But again, she never flat our said Petunia 
wasn't a witch.

For what it's worth.
