Valky rode over on his mint vintage Nimbus and said:

"There is an apparently, confirmed, rumour that someone will finally 
be able to use magic correctly in a future book, "just in time".

"This most likely applies to Seamus F, but could apply to Filch. I 
don't know. Its just an interesting thing that relates to squibness.


"Can they eventually learn magic? At what point in a wizards life is 
it confirmed in official or technical terms that he/she is a sqib."

  
So, I (Angie) have to pipe in with:

Why do you think Seamus, and not Neville? (Thinking of Neville's "I'm 
practically a squib" remark.)

Hmmm - can a squib learn magic? My guess is no. I likened Filch's 
correspondence course to one of those cheesy matchbook "learn to 
draw" classes. I never received any hint that there was indeed any 
value in it.

So, what did I miss?

Angie, who just last night learned how to pronounce Seamus.
