This howler was written by Albus Dumbledore to Petunia Dursley on 2 August, 1995, to remind her “of the pact she had sealed by taking Harry Potter” into her home.
Thereof Did Petunia go to Lily’s funeral? Apparently Petunia arranged the funeral for Lily and James, choosing for them to be buried in Godrics Hollow. Petunia was the only member left of Liliy’s and James’ family so it was left for her to do.
What did Dumbledore’s Howler to Petunia mean? Dumbledore had a sufficient foresight as to what would happen after the attack. He immediately dispatched a howler to Petunia. The howler reminded her that Harry’s fate thus, would be the same for her family, if she decided to let him go, and break the charm. Hence she decided to let him stay. Not for his protection.
Subsequently, Why does Petunia let Harry stay? It was Petunia’s duty to protect her Nephew. And she did it with great risk as well. Because she used to love Lily when they were little and Dumbledore explained that by allowing Harry to live with them would save his life. She may have resented him, but she didn’t want him to be dead on her account!
Was Petunia ever nice to Harry?
Definitely!! She cared about Harry almost as much as she cared about Lily. Although she refrained from letting it be seen. It would have been really easy for the Dursleys to have sent Harry to an orphanage or something, had Petunia not cared about her sister’s son and kept him all through his childhood.
Was Petunia a squib? The theory stems from JK Rowling’s answer to a fan question during a 2004 conversation at the Edinburgh Book Festival. The fan asked the author if Aunt Petunia was a Squib (a non-magical person who is born to at least one magical parent) and Rowling replied: … No, she is not, she is not a Squib. She is a Muggle.
Why was Petunia not allowed to go to Hogwarts? Dumbledore responded saying that Petunia may not study at Hogwarts, and even though he responded kindly, Petunia felt hurt and left out, which also in part could have been because her parents were so proud of Lily’s talents.
What did Petunia say to Harry? In the scene Petunia says, “ You didn’t just lose a mother that night in Godric’s Hollow you know, I lost a sister.” But Petunia saying this, I believe is wishful thinking! She was to hardened to love Harry or exchange good words. A good ending would seem unrealistic to me.
What was written in the letter that Dumbledore to Petunia say?
A Howler from Dumbledore, addressed to Petunia, said ‘Remember my last‘ – no doubt referring to the letter which he left with baby Harry, on the doorstep of Privet Drive. But there was another occasion when Albus had a reason to write, and it had long-lasting consequences.
What became of Dolores Umbridge? After Voldemort’s defeat by Harry at the Battle of Hogwarts and the restoration of the Ministry of Magic by the new Minister, Kingsley Shacklebolt, Umbridge was sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban for her crimes against Muggle-borns.
Was Petunia a Squib?

Why was Petunia so mean to Lily? One reason could have been because of the fact her parents praised Lily for her magical abilities and Petunia would have been jealous. Severus Snape was a boy who also lived in the town of Cokeworth who possessed similar abilities and the two (Petunia and Snape) treated each other disdainfully.
