She is hiding something, that was admitted by JK Rowling at the Edinburgh Book Festival on August 15, 2004, when asked if Aunt Petunia was a squib:
“Good question. No, she is not, but—[Laughter]. No, she is not a Squib. She is a Muggle, but—[Laughter]. You will have to read the other books. You might have got the impression that there is a little bit more to Aunt Petunia than meets the eye, and you will find out what it is. She is not a squib, although that is a very good guess. Oh, I am giving a lot away here.”
So, is she a witch? No, Jo says she is not on her website.
Dumbledore’s howler says ‘remember my last!’ JK Rowling said on her site that he meant remember my last letter, as if there was a letter before the one that came with Harry the night his parents were killed and Dumbledore dropped him off. Now, why would Dumbledore be writing to Petunia about? If she isn’t a witch or a squib, why would she get a letter from the Headmaster of Hogwarts? Maybe as the mother of a newly born wizard? Doesn’t Hagrid say somewhere that Harry had his name down to attend Hogwarts since the day he was born… would all wizards be like that? There has to be a way for the school to know – they found Hermione, did they?
What do you think?
