Line 35:
* [[Abusive Parents]]
* [[Adaptation Dye Job]]: Petunia is blonde in the books, but dark-haired in the film to make them less similar to the Malfoys.
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: In ''Order of the Phoenix'', she remembers hearing about dementors because she overheard her sister being told about it from "that awful boy", with the implication being that said boy was James. In ''Deathly Hallows'', that's revisited, as Harry peers into Snape's memory and watches Lily and Petunia hear about the dementors...from Snape, not James as previously believed.
* [[Floral Theme Naming]]: Lily and Petunia, anyone?
* [[Freudian Excuse]]: She's just jealous because Lily got all the beauty and the power. Can you really blame her if she wants to take it out on her nephew?
* [[Frying Pan of Doom]]: Tries to hit Harry with a frying pan in the second book, but misses.
* [[The Glorious War of Sisterly Rivalry]]
Line 54:
* [[Parental Obliviousness]]: Petunia has a huge blind spot when it comes to Dudley's many flaws.
* [[Stepford Smiler]]
* [[The Unfavorite]]: We don't actually ''know'' since we never get to see Lily's and her parents, but it is implied the reason she is so bitter and resentful towards magic and the Potters is that she felt left behind when her pretty, popular sister got a letter from Hogwarts and she didn't.
