What evidence exists for her being Muggle-Born as opposed to being 
Squib-Born? I have the impression (without going back and reading the 
books again) that the Muggle vs. Squib status of the Evens is based 
on Petunia (who wants nothing to do with the WW [which if he is a 
Squib with a Wizard Sister would be a case of Envy/Sour-Grapes]) and 
Drago (who has a "pure-blood" fixation that would lump a Squib 
Ancestor in the same group as a Muggle Ancestor [ie: A Squib is not 
"pure-blood" since the Wizardy Power did not Breed True]).
