I remember someone saying (I'm pretty sure it was Hermione, quoting 
Hogwarts, a History yet again) that muggles can't see the hogwarts 
castle for what it really is either (they see an old ruin, with a 
sign saying :danger, do not enter...or something to that effect). We 
know that Filch *can* see it, and he's a squib....thus: squibs can 
see magical things, even if muggles can't.
