What is the hold either Puppetmaster!DD or Voldemort could have over 
Petunia? I'm increasingly of the opinion that Dudley is a wizard, 
not a particularly powerful one but magical none the less. As Aunt 
Marge points out bad blood most often comes from the maternal line. 
Why does Petunia indulge Dudley, constantly feeding him, keeping him 
mute and placid? Because anger is one of the triggers which releases 
magical ability as Hagrid says to Harry in PS.

Why might she be afraid of Azkeban? Perhaps someone has told her 
that is the destination of rogue wizards, if she is to control 
Dudley she needs a powerful wizard to supress his latent ability, 
now that's a contract I can see Petunia signing willingly. But with 
whom?
