[HPforGrownups] Could this be Petunia?

The DCatA non-magical character will perform magic in "desperate
circumstances." Jo said this would happen back in 1999, in a Barnes and
Noble chat, but it has yet to occur. She said, "There is a character who
does manage in desperate circumstances to do magic quite late in life, but
that is very rare in the world I am writing about."

I always thought this might mean Argus Filch, but could it actually mean
Petunia does magic to protect her family, or possibly ----BIG STRETCH ---
Harry?

Your thoughts on the subject?



Sherry:
I believe that on JKR's web site she says, perhaps in the rumors or FAQ
sections, that Petunia will never do magic.  Check out

As for who will do magic late in life, my vote and my personal hope is that
it will be Mrs. Figg.  I love her, and I'd hate to see a horrible person
like Filch be able to do magic.  I shudder to think what he could do to the
students!
