squibs but the rules banning underage magic out of school did not 
exist either, it is possible.

FYI,

The Decree for the Reasonable Restriction of Underage Sorcery dates 
to 1875 (OotP, US, Chapter 8, pg 140).  

Also, it must apply to wizarding families as well, because we see 
Fred & George zaping every chance they have after they become of 
age.  If they could have done that all along at home, it would have 
been old hat by then, no fun at all.
