Well, Lenore is closest. Prince Harry's real name is -

Henry Charles Albert David Windsor

So, 'Harry' is short for 'Henry'. 

I did get this when I read it in the books, although
only found it mildly amusing. I'm sure Petunia was
surprised when only a few years later, there was a 
royal 'Harry' on the scene. 

Her attitude toward the name probably changed, but 
clearly her attitude toward /our/ Harry hasn't. Yet, 
after the Dementor attack in OotP, I did sense a shift
in Petunia. I think she will still have a case of 
'attitude', but I can foresee her and Harry having a 
heart-to-heart in the final book.

For what it's worth.
