"Aunt Petunia has never performed magic, and never will, but there's more to her than meets the eye..."

After reading this statement, I came up to an idea that Aunt Petunia have some connections with wizards.
I think that Aunt Petunia has ancestors that were wizards and witches. Lily was called a "Mudblood" (sorry for the term) because her and Petunia's parents have no magical abilities. But then, it doesn't mean that they are already Muggles. It is possible that they are Squibs.
I also remembered an article that I have read in the net that Rowling commented that she's being discreet after she stated that there is more to Aunt Petunia than meets the eye.

Thanks for all helpful answers on religion/spirituality in LA literature. Now does anyone know of any Latin American novels which deal with catholicism?

Has anyone else who's read Mark Haddon's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime inferred that the main character suffers from Asperger's Syndrome? He meets all of the Asperger's criterion: strongly ordered behavior, affinity for math and physics, poor motor skills, inability to empathize ... etc, ect.

If you drew another conclusion of his condition, I'd like to hear it. I thought I would take a poll of readers before I leapt into the critic reviews. Nobody that I know has read it.

I am a firefighter with a private engine company. At the end of each fire we are given a crew preformance evaluation by our supervisors. My partner and I have always got excellant ratings , for the past 15 years. We pride ourselves in being the best. And we take it very seriously. Especially because our credntials and qualifications are based substantually on these evals. Lately the agencys are changing the way they give the ratings. And are encouraging supervisors not to give excellants so often. Based on the explanation of some of these evaluators I have realized that we are getting satisfactory ratings recently because they are either giving lower ratings at random, or just giving satisfactorys to all, without thought or real awareness. Any way my question is , if you pride your self on doing great and then all who see begin to label you as average when you are way above that, would you still strive for excellance, or conform to be average because it seems to matters not?
