Well, perhaps she's nearly muggle, but with only the 
slightest bit of magical ability...not enough to get her 
into Hogwarts, but enough to make her jealous.  As a 
matter of fact, this would probably make her *more* 
jealous than if she had no magical abilities whatsoever. 
 Think about it -- sibling able to do something that you 
can do, but he/she can do it MUCH better.

I don't think she was kicked out of Hogwarts, if only 
because she's very against magic.  I don't know why, but 
it seems that she'd be less inclined to blame Harry for 
magical blunders if she knew she had some magic in her.
