No, because again, we have Snape who is friend to the Malfoys and who
is honored (on occasion) by the Dark Lord. Bellatrix doesn't care for
him, but I'm not sure if any of that has to do with his Blood status.
Granted, Squib and Muggle seem to have equal status among those who
discriminate against non-Magic persons. Of course, we don't see any
Muggles working for DD. But I don't think it would be unthinkable for
someone to speak of their connections to the magical family of
__________ even if the connection was a Squib. Might not mention that
detail, if it could be avoided.
Cannot get to my DH for canon, but Muriel speaks of families who
arrange to have their Squib children educated in Muggle schools so they
can move in the Muggle world. That's not a cold rejection of the child.
I wonder what actually happened to Marius Black and who blasted his
name off the family tree?
Neville's description of his self as "almost all Muggle" makes me
wonder if JKR just hadn't decided on Squib at that point, or if Alice
was Mugggle-born.
