I Found it on veritaserum yesterday and i was like wowwwwwwwwwwwww.
Its really great : ) : )
i would never think of that.
I think Mrs. Dursely was by chance at the Potter's house the night they died. i beleive James gave Mrs. Dursley the invisibility cloak to hide under knowing that since she did not have magical powers Voldermort would not sense that she is there under the cloak or that he just wouldnt care. Mrs. Dursley witness the deaths and that is why she is so emotional when it comes to her sister and magic. I believe dudley might have been under the cloak as well. (possibly could tie into the dementor scene and worst memory). Anyway I believe Mrs. Dursley was instructed by james or lily to send a owl to Dumbledore should anything happen to them. so dumbledore took Mrs. Dursley to his office while she was under the cloak still and heard the story and since then he made the safety pact and has kept in contact with her. I believe Mrs. Dursley knew before Mr. dursley that they were going to have to take care of harry.
First, we know that Dumbledore was in communication with Petunia before Harry was left on their doorstep. Jo said:
--
What did Dumbledore's Howler to Aunt Petunia mean? ('Remember my last'?)
So: Dumbledore is referring to his last letter, which means, of course, the letter he left upon the Dursleys' doorstep when Harry was one year old. But why then (you may well ask) did he not just say 'remember my letter?' Why did he say my last letter? Why, obviously because there were letters before that…
Now let the speculation begin, and mind you type clearly, I'll be watching…
Second, we know that we will find out what Dudley saw in his worst memory:
QUOTE
Amy: What did Dudley see when he faced the Dementors in book five?
JK Rowling replies -> Ah, good question. You'll find out!
However, that being said, I don't know on the dudley thing. I mean, part of me really likes it. The other part says that Dudley sure seemed surprised when Harry turned out to be a wizard. So, I'm torn on that part. Here's how I see it going.
Lily was still close to her sister, loved her sister despite her being a muggle, and her sister's resentment. Did you ever wonder why ever Lily brought James around Petunia so that Petunia could have heard about the Dementors? If Petunia really rejected her sister like she claims around Vernon, then why would Lily want to bring her boyfriend/husband around her? Perhaps Lily and Petunia were closer than we think. Perhaps, when Lily and James went into hiding, Lily had Peter write a slip of paper to Petunia much like Dumbledore did to Harry. Petunia then knew where they were and went to see her sister. She was there when Voldemort came, surprising them all. In a rush, James or Lily threw the Invisibility cloak over Petunia's head to protect her and to hide her from Voldemort. Voldemort did not sense Petunia since she is not magical, and could not see her since he is not as powerful as Dumbledore. Petunia watched as her sister as she was killed. She knew enough of the Wizarding world to know that owls were used to send messages, and that Dumbledore was the person that needed to know. She wrote a note to dumbledore, telling him what happened, and found an owl, perhaps one that the potters had there already, and sent a note to dumbledore. Dumbledore then communicated with dumbledore much like Harry did in book 5, very quickly. Dumbledore told her to leave, and to return back to the house. Perhaps he told her that he would send harry there, perhaps not. But she returned, and Dumbledore sent her one "last" letter, explaining why Harry needed to stay.
But why would this all be "crutial" to book 7? Well, first, it would show that Petunia is not really as evil and hearless as she appears to harry. We know this about Petunia:
QUOTE
Is Aunt Petunia 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. I am being shockingly indiscreet.
There is more to Petunia than she seems. The often quoted, enigmatic phrase. Perhaps now it makes sense. Petunia is not magical, Jo tells us at another point (you can look it up in accioquote if you want). But her being a squib is a very good guess. So what is it? Perhaps it could be that Petunia knows more about the magical world than it seems, because she learned about it from her sister. she learned about it, because they were close, not best friends or anything, but just sisters, as sisters are. They love each other. They hate each other, are jealous of each other, but love each other too.
It could also be important because it would provide harry with two things:
1) he could finally get a first-hand account of the story. Perhaps Petunia might know something we do not.
2) it would give an indication of how much everyone knew beforehand. She might have Dumbledore's letters, be able to give them to harry to read and see how much was known. She might have the key to knowing if Snape is good or not. She could know so many things.
Petunia would be the key because she would be a fairly unbiased party to the events. Petunia could be the key to it all. Not to where the horcruxes are, or anything like that. But the key to knowing what happend, and why, and who knew. That much, at least.
Its really great : ) : )
