Petunia isn't a squib, and Lily's parents are Muggles.  In the first book,
when Harry first meets Draco, he (Draco) says Muggle-born kids shouldn't be
allowed to go to Hogwarts.  Hagrid reassures Harry by saying, "...some o'
the best [witches and wizards] I ever saw were the only ones with magic in
'em in a long line o' Muggles -- look at yer mum!" (Canadian paperback
edition, p.61)
