bboyminn:

But did she /literally/ say "She is a Muggle". It seems
to me that the books very much imply that Petunia is
as muggle as they come, but that is colored by Harry's
perception.

Do, you by chance have a direct quote of JKR saying that?
Because from the two critical sources of information we
have about that, it seems that JKR specifically avoided
say it directly.

If by chance you can find a direct quote, I sense a 
context to it. As I said, what we are lead to believe is
colored by Harry's perception. Which means that JKR is
likely going to try and re-enforce Harry perception
until such time as a change needs to take place in the 
story line. So, unless JKR gives a no-context unqualified
statement, I'm afraid I can't accept it.

Just curious.
