It's probably just because I read it so fast but I still have a few questions.
1. Who used magic for the first time?
2. What was so special about Petunia Dursley?
3. What was special about Harry having his mom's eyes?
4. What did Dudley see when the dementors attacked him?
5. What did Harry's parents do for a living?
Veritaserum.com said that these questions would be answered in the book but I couldn't find the answer.
Okay, I'm not stupid so no mean comments please. I probably read this book too fast because I wanted to finish it so I'm sure I just missed this stuff.

You're not stupid.
These are good questions, but they haven't been clearly answered in the book for one thing.
i don't remember who did magic for the first time... did someone really?hm mm
The Petunia Dursley thing was probably that she loved her sister and the fact that she, a muggle, managed to write to Hogwarts asking for admission. This I guess, shows us that she only became repulsed bu magic after it had repulsed her....so to speak
They say, eyes are the windows to the soul.
Harry having his moms eyes shows that Harry was more like his mother than his father, in terms of spirit, courage and and ability to love. The fact that she was ready to die for Harry, mirrors the way Harry prepared himself to die for the greater good. Read the end again. It'll become clearer.
This I don't know. Has been mentioned?
Again, a question that was not answered. Not in the book at least.
Sorry I wasn't able to help you much, but this is just my thoughts on the matter.

On a few of the counts, I think you're probably right that you just missed it, and that's okay. I read it in 8 hours, so I know there's stuff I missed, but on some of your counts, I have racked my brain and just can't think of when these things happened. These are 1, kind of 2, and 4. 5 was explained in OotP. The eyes were a constant reminder to Snape of the love he had had for Lily, and therefore the reason why he should try so diligently to protect Harry, because of his promise to Dumbledore. Petunia heard conversations between Lily and Snape, and therefore learned from that, though why this is important I don't know. Harry's parents were in the Order. This was their job.

Yeah i was wondering some of those, and i didn't rush it, so i don't think you did miss anything! I think petunia was more special because it showed how she grew up with lily and around magic, so she knows more about the world than we previously thought.
