Sleuthing

JK Rowling treated Harry Potter fans with some good stuff for the past few weeks. She had revealed some answers to other puzzling stuff, such as whether Dumbledore is really dead (he's not going to pull a Gandalf) or what Hermione would see in the mirror of Irised. What I am particularly interested in was what she said about Petunia, who is Harry's aunt, that there is a little more to her than meets the eye.

So many theories had come up on how the series would end or how Harry would finally defeat Voldemort, like what Jo said no one had guessed it yet. I would like to make a guess - wild as it may be - about Voldemort's downfall. It has been discussed that the "power the Dark Lord knows not", which is love - something that Harry has a lot of - is the key to it all and that Harry would die by sacrificing himself all because of that love. Some even suggested that it could be Ginny, Harry's current ex-girlfriend, who would sacrifice and block that Avada Kedavra curse, just like what Lily, Harry's mother, did the first time. Fans of Snape are banging up on the idea that it would be the hero's former Potions and Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher who would save the day and die for Harry. Tragic Harry/Hermione shippers think that it would be Harry's girl best friend who has a huge inclination of dying for the hero just to prove that it is Harry whom Hermione loves the most and not Ron.

My theory is going to play on some replies JK Rowling gave in some of her interviews. She said that Harry's eyes are going to play a crucial role in the series and that there is something more to it with Petunia, and that we would learn them a lot more in the last book. Harry's eyes already did wonders in the Half-Blood Prince with Slughorn, and I bet that the second person to be affected by it would be his aunt. Jo mentioned sometime ago that there's someone who would discover his or her magical abilities at a later stage, and I think there is a good chance that that person is from the Dursleys.

After all these years of abusing Harry, I am leaning more on Petunia finding redemption. She'd see her sister through his eyes and that this love of family would kick in and that she'd do the same thing her sister did: die for Harry.

Why am I posting this? Because I want some proof that I thought of it before the seventh book is released and even before they might think of it in Pottercast's canon conundrum.
