All great points, but she could still be a squib if Mr. and Mrs. 
Evans were squibs as well and lived outside the wizard world.  
There probably aren't may jobs in the wizard world for squibs, so 
they may have had no other option or maybe there are rules re. 
squibs that we don't know about.  

I know this has been suggested before - especially since it 
explains why they were so happy about Lily being a witch.

I also don't think its so out of line with the 'choices over
heritage' 
theme, since Voldemort seems pretty hostile to squibs as well 
as muggle-borns - Tom!Voldemort seemed happy to have 
petrified Filch's cat for instance.
