[HPforGrownups] Petunia as Squib

[Christopher Nuttall]

No: HPFGUIDX 50266

What i think happened was that Lily was oldest and she shared all her tales of the WW with Petunia, who looked forward desperatly to the time that she could join it and then, on the day she expected the letter, got nothing.  There would have been a period of denial, followed by hatred of what she wanted so much,and then outright hatred of lily, the 'favored one'.  

I don't think that Petunia  is a squib because she takes no part in the WW at all, while the only (?) squib we've seen so far, flitch, seems to be able to take part in the WW (see hogwarts, use at least some magic, etc) and work in it, even if he's not quite an equal.  Squibs must have some magic to see hogwarts and there would be NO point in the Quickspell course if there was NOTHING to develop.
