My turn:

  If that's the case, poor Filchy is out of luck.  No chance of 
learning to do magic if you were born a squib.  Poor guy... *sigh*

  Furthermore, that would mean that JKRs comment on someone realizing 
their potential later in life would have to be one of the witches or 
wizards we have already seen becoming stronger by leaps and bounds.  
Neville is the first person that comes to mind for me, but I doubt 
that she would refer to 15 as "late in life."  Any other candidates?
