Harry could see Uncle Vernon's shiny black shoes pacing up and down the kitchen.
"No," he said finally, "No, we'll ignore it. If they dont' get an answer...Yes, that's best...we won't do anything..."

page 36, US paperback edition
Put in context, I think that Petunia is saying "but" to the idea of ignoring the letter, not that she had something else going on.
