Ebony said, re PWDs
 
<<<I think that magical ability *could* show up in children/adults 
with mental and physical challenges.  If Harry is myopic, I'm sure 
there could be blind witches and wizards.  If Eloise has acne, 
perhaps an autistic child could have great talent in Potions-
making.>>>

I agree with the last point in particular, since autistic children 
are often noted for being prodigious in a single area. 

In the magical world, I imagine being a squib is on a par with 
dyslexia or even blindness.  That is, if we regard magical 
ability as being something pitched between a skill and a 
sense.
