Kristy:
I kind of have a theory about Petunia being "more than meets the
eye".  I think Lily and Petunia's parents were both squibs, which is
why they would be so excited about having a witch in the family and
also why Petunia knows more about the wizard world than a normal
muggle would (even one with a witch for a sister.)

Oh, and my guess on the person performing magic late in life was
Filch (Mrs. Figg was my second guess though.)
