How do we know that Lily and Petunia's parents are not magical folk? I don't remember it ever being specifically mentioned in the books. The only thing I remember about it was Petunia's words that her parents were so thrilled that Lily had magical powers. Perhaps their whole family was magical and Petunia is a squib, hence her bad feelings for all things magical. I just don't recall there being enough information yet to rule out that Lily is from a magically inclined family.
Please correct me if I'm wrong though, 
Wanda

  This idea has been kicked around before. I was trying to add a bit of evidence to the theory
  'Petunia is a witch with very weak powers (hence no Hogwars for her), which she intentionally tries
  to supress' theory, which someone else ( I don't remember who) suggested. Some other evidence that 
  has been mentioned is that Aunt Marge's glass shatters while she is insulting Harry's parents.
  Possibly Petunia did this.
