The question shouldn't be why is she blond in the book, it should be why has she got brown hair in the movies.

The books were written years before the movies came out. The movies are based off the books. Therefore anything in the books is canon.

J.K Rowling decided she wanted Petunia to have blond hair in her books. However Fiona Shaw, who plays Petunia in the movies, has brown hair which is why there is a difference.
