... and maybe others used your private key as well. A 512 bit DSA key has way too low security properties that it is or has ever been of any use. I don't know how you created this key in (probably) 2008 because such low key sizes were never supported by GnuPG or PGP. The 4096 bit RSA encryption subkey is state of the art but you should not consider that it is reliable bound to your user id and the primary key. I would strongly suggest to immediately create a new key using default parameters and revoke the old key. For decrypting old mails you may want to add the subkey of the current key to another key (either the new one or a separate dummy key).
