I'm not inclined to think Petunia's a Squib, because it was said at
several points that Lily was either a Muggle-born witch or from a Muggle
family.  However, for proponents of Heir-through-Lily theories, there's
nothing against one of the previous descendants having been a Squib, and
choosing to live in the Muggle world since they were without magic. 
Several generations later, who's to say they're not a Muggle family?
