Sneeboy2:

It seems highly plausible that Petunia has had an unpleasant encounter
with the WW, but it says in book 1, chapter 1 that she hadn't seen
Lily for a couple of years at the time of Lily's death. Could she be
their secret keeper without having been in their presence? Also it
would be pointless for the DE's to try to get information from Dudley,
who was an infant at the time.
