Neville said  "Well, my gran brought me up and she's a witch but the
family thought I was all Muggle for ages" But a non-magical person
born into a wizarding family isn't a muggle, they're a squib - like
Filch. So why does he say muggle? .... <<<

I think 'Squib' is not a very polite term, so I discussing his
grandmother and himself, he would not be likely to use the term Squib. 

Just a thought.
