Yes, I felt a bit of sympathy for Petunia too. I have
always thought she was likely jealous of Lily, but 
those scenes really drove it home to me. And how
could Petunia not be jealous and hurt. She so obviously
wanted to go to Hogwarts and enjoy the experience with
her sister. But it was not to be.

But, this leave me wondering if Harry felt the same
thing? Did he feel for Petunia too? And did that 
lead to a distant and begrudging, but none the
less, reconciliation between them?

Certainly, under the best of circumstances they are
never going to be more than formally polite to each
other. But I have to wonder if maybe Harry didn't 
send a Christmas card every year just to let her 
know he understood, and to further acknowledge 
Dudley's concern for Harry. 

I don't even see them being close, but I wonder 
if the weren't at least polite?
