Linda:

 I don't see why Hogsmead couldn't be called an all wizarding 
settlement even if squibs were living there. Actually, it was 
founded as an all wizard settlement originally but we have no canon 
prooving that this is still the case.  IMO, the idea behind Hogsmead, both 
as a plot device and a place that is real to the WW, is to establish 
a place, other than Hogwarts or private homes, where magic people,  
beings, and beasts don't have to hide what they are. A squib would 
already have knowledge of the WW and therefore would not compromise 
that intent.

Your idea is reasonable Linda, but don't forget D.Alley where they can also be themselves.

How about this; is aunt Petunia a squib? Were her and Lilly Potter's mum and dad WW's? It would go some way towards explaining her extreem anti wizard atitude. Has this been discussed before?
