I've been lurking here on the list for a while and had not seen this
discussed before, please forgive me if this has been beaten to death
already.

I was re-reading OOTP in preparation for Saturdays Release of DH
when I read something interesting .  In the Chapter Dudley Demented
while Harry and the Dursleys are "talking" in the kitchen Petunia
says "they guard the wizard prison"(not exact quote I don't have
the book here with me) she then says "I heard that awful boy tell
her"

Harry immediately assumes Petunia is talking about James...(Harry has
often jumped to the wrong conclusion in the past)  I think Petunia
Was Talking about Snape!
I really don't  know how relevant this may be,or how it ties in, But
JKR has many times in the past slipped in important clues, even if
they need a lot of other explaining, in simple off hand statements.
What do you think?
