If a child with magical powers is born to a wizarding family OR a
hitherto non-magical family, the child is a witch or a wizard (Harry,
Hermione. Wouldn't you love to chat with Dr. and Dr. Granger?)
If a child with no magical powers is born to a hitherto non-magical
family, the child is a muggle (Dudley -- as far as we know.
Petunia's case is open to all kinds of questions.)
If a child with no magical powers is born to a wizarding family, the
child is a squib (Arabella Figg, Argus Filch). Neville was feared to
be a squib, but eventually proves himself a wizard. (Why that took
so long is a subject for another thread.) And we have it from JKR
that someone who's never done so before will use magic in the
future.
When does a squib stop being called a squib and become a muggle? Or
are they ever?
