The way Lily threatened Petunia with her wand... no, just no. I know my mother would have smacked me for that, even if my sister had been awful to me. I was unsure about that. It sort of wrote itself in by accident and became too important. But then, Petunia is scared of the magic, not of what Lily might do to her. And I agree that it's not all Petunia's fault. There's a gorgeous Narni/Harry Potter crossover which does very well with the discord between the sisters.
The last scene has been with me, waiting to be written, for such a long time now. I'm so glad I was able to make it work.
