I thought that had to do with Dumbledore telling her of Harry's special protection when at a place he can call home. That and that Petunia has his mother's blood for it to work.

I think it was also dealing with lily's last words.

I, too, believe you are referencing to the part at the beginning of book 5 where Dumbledore reminds her that Harry can not leave, he must live in the house to keep safe.

Well, this is what JKR had to say about it....

Section: F.A.Q.

What did Dumbledore's Howler to Aunt Petunia mean? ('Remember my last'?)

Well, it is a relief to move on after the Mark Evans fiasco. This time, two out of the three poll questions had interesting answers (or so I think) and thank goodness you chose one of them.

So: Dumbledore is referring to his last letter, which means, of course, the letter he left upon the Dursleys' doorstep when Harry was one year old. But why then (you may well ask) did he not just say 'remember my letter?' Why did he say my last letter? Why, obviously because there were letters before that…

Now let the speculation begin, and mind you type clearly, I'll be watching…

P.S. It has been suggested that I am wrong in saying that Dumbledore's last letter was the one he left on the doorstep with baby Harry, and that he has sent a letter since then concerning Harry's illegal flight to school. However, both Dumbledore and I differentiate between letters sent to the Dursleys as a couple, and messages directed to Petunia ALONE. And that's my final word on the subject - though I doubt it will be yours Smile

yep thats about it....just a bit of a blackmail to her when they were getting all giddy and scarily happy about pushing harry out of the house when those "dementy-thingys" were after him.
