I don't understand -- in the beginning of the 2nd. chapter of OotP Mrs. Figg 
says she is a Squib.  I quote... "I'm a squib, as Mundungus knows full well, 
so how on earth was I supposed to help you fight off dementors...?"

Now, Petunia, for me, is an unkown entity.  I mean she could be a Sqib, a 
Muggle or a witch with latent abilities.  One thing I believe is that, when she 
did not receive her letter as her sister Lily did, she was extremely upset and 
became very jealous of her sister.  I mean, Lily had been going on and on 
about Hogwarts and all the wonderful stuff there and Petunia was just itching to go there too....

Anyway, can you tell me what you mean by Mrs. Figg not being a Squib?  
Thanks,
