Sirius, love, Dudley's letter to Harry is winging its way to you. He's spent quite a while working on it. I haven't read it, of course, apart from the bits that he sought approval for that were about his current living situation, but he did ask a lot of questions before he sat down to write it -- he was concerned about how much he could say, and whether he could really trust Harry's note at face value, but Terry had some good things to say about Harry (especially how he treated our Hermione), and, of course, the letter came by way of a certain Sirius Black, so I believe he's worked through most of his concerns.
Arthur, the reason I'm also including you on all this is because another thing Dudley talked to me about for the first time was his parents. He believes Vernon Dursley is dead, but he is very uncertain about what happened to his mother, Harry's aunt. This entire time, he's been very quiet about it, and I'd assumed that she'd died, but his writing to Harry has apparently opened the floodgates as it were, and apparently it's still very much up in the air. He was separated from her when he was eight and put to work (eight, Arthur, goodness, my heart hurts), and he believes she was moved to another camp, only he didn't know which one, and hadn't heard from her at all since then.
Could you look further into it, to see if you can find Petunia?
