Ceridwen:
The comment was unnecessary. "...he smashed a horrible vase Petunia 
sent me for Christmas (no complaint there)." Page 180. She could 
just have said Harry had smashed a vase, or even a vase Petunia had 
sent. To me, the "horrible" and "(no complaint there)" smacked of 
attitude, a wink and a nudge to Sirius against Petunia

Ivogun:
Perhaps it was a just horrible vase.  Since Petunia sent terrible gifts to Harry on purpose, I 
assumed that she had done the same trick to her sister. Could be movie contamination, 
but I think Petunia is portrayed as having reasonably good taste.
