No, I’m afraid Dudley can’t be a wizard. Joanne Rowling said herself that it was impossible.
As for your Dementer theory, he just felt the Dementers, he didn’t see them. He thought that Harry did it, but he beleived that Harry didn’t do it in the end, but he thought that the ones he felt were the only ones.
As for what Dumbledore said, he meant that Dudley was spoiled rotten. Dudley didn’t have any idea of what the real world was like, since he got everything he ever wanted. His parents bullied his cousin, so Dudley thought that bullying was okay behavior.
So no, Dudley couldn’t be a wizard. Though if he was, he’d be a Slytherin, though in later life he may be a Hufflepuff or even Gryffindor.
Well, I guess that’s just my opinion. Oh, well.

OH and here is THE ONE REASON Dudley cannot POSSIBLY be magic: J.K. Rowling has been quoted as saying that she had planned to write that Dudley had a wizard child in the Epilogue, but decided against it as no magical blood could possibly get through Uncle Vernon’s DNA. So that’s the end of that ;-D

Dudley is not a wizard, not close. I thought Dudley mighta had magic in him, but then I realized, he was pretty sure Harry had hexed him when the dementors were attacking. Wizards can see Dementors, despite muggle parentage and lifestyle. He punched Harry in the face strong enough to knock Harry to the ground and if i remember correctly cut Harry. its been a while since I read the 5th book, but i remember dudley was sure it was harry. when his mother asked him what happened, he pointed straight at harry. Im sure there are other things in the books to prove he’s all muggle, and i’ll think on it for a bit, but he’s not a wizard. what made me consider it was Dumbledore’s comments in the 6th book, but then i realized he was talking about how the way they raised him made him a mean spoiled bully. I’m glad he wasn’t a wizard tho, could you imagine him at Hogwarts?!?!? Forget Malfoy, Dudley would make the Sorting Hat SCREAM Slytherin, right before it tragically dies… Harry and his cousin, who he lived with an was tortured by for his entire life, would be a very different story there. Harry wouldn’t have the escape from the Dursleys he gets every school year. No, I think its best he stay a mere human =)

Now that’s a different way to look at it. I always thought that statement meant Dudley didn’t turn out to be a good human being because of his parents. But surely now that I think about it there are enough references for him to be a wizard.
