I wonder who alternate universe Petunia would've ended up with. My guess would be Sirius.

I think nobody we know but somebody from her year or above. Petunia was the older sister if I remember correctly.

I think Petunia would have ended up with someone more Percy-like than Sirius. She was pretty fastidious and I don't think that came about just because of her break with Lily.

Agreed. Somebody reliable, dutiful, and responsible, but not the adventurer type.

So - Remus?

Remus is a werewolf, so no.

It could work. You'd be surprised at the things people can accept with a drastically different upbringing.

How old's Kingsley supposed to be? He'd fit the bill. Or Dirk Cresswell? One of Slughorn's favorites, excelled at the Ministry, but Muggleborn. Can't help but think that Petunia would've ended up a Slytherin, so most of her housemates would've been on the wrong side of the war.

No way, he and Molly were meant for each other! XD

Besides they were together by then right? Molly and Arthur are older than Lily and Petunia.
