I thought so too until I re-read it (last night). What I noticed is this: Harry, who has seen Dumbledore constantly for 4 years, does not recognize his voice in the howler, but Petunia does (or at least she undertands who the howler is from). That would seem impossible, or at least unlikely, if the "last" was simply the written letter explaining why the Dursley's must keep Harry. (Just like it seems very unlikely that she knew what dementors were simply because she had heard James mention them to Lily at least 14 years earlier.)
I think Petunia has had more communication with Dumbledore than we realize.
