Pat: 

I always wondered what Petunia did with the copies of the Daily Prophet that Harry left (at least in the last 2 years). As nosy as she was, I'm sure she read them, cover to cover, before burning them. I just can't see her tossing them into the bin and not paying any attention to what was written! 

And then there are the spellbooks Harry left in his room at the beginning of DH! If any of those survived the Death Eaters' search for Harry - what would she have made of those?? I can see her at least paging through, wondering what it would have been like if only she could have attended Hogwarts. . .

It was very disappointing that she had nothing to share with Harry before they parted at the beginning of DH. Aside from Vernon and Dudley, Harry was her only other family in the world. And she just shoved him aside with nothing to say to him. Not even anything about his mother, her sister. Sad.

Just a few thoughts,
Pat
