We additionally learn why Petunia hated Lily and, by extension, Lily's son Harry. Because she was born without any magical ability, Petunia hated it and everything associated with the Wizarding realm. As Petunia had actually requested permission to attend Hogwarts, and had been gently declined, it is clear that her rejecting the magical world is simple jealousy and retaliation for it having rejected her, an all-too-human characteristic. We can surmise that she wed [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Vernon Dursley|Vernon Dursley]] because he possessed a so-very-stolid non-magical nature, and it is clear that the ill-treatment she inflicted on Harry was part and parcel of those same feelings.

Judging by the above, it can be seen that Snape and Petunia shared certain similarities in their personalities. Both were denied what they most desperately wanted, and each manifested their jealousy and disappointment as hatred toward Harry. In Petunia's case, her hatred was extended from her envy over her sister being magical, while Snape was consummed with forever despising James Potter and his pain over losing Lily. Neither could ever learn to set aside these feelings and come to enjoy just what they could have; instead, they remained so obsessed and bitter, that it poisoned nearly everything in their lives. It is hardly surprising, despite their only having briefly meetingmet one time, that they mutually loathed one another.
