Great post, thanks for the reference.  (And of course I happen to agree 
with it!)

I have convinced myself that Lily and Petunia's parents were themselves 
squibs.  This would explain their excitement at having a witch in the 
family and exacerbate Petunia's feelings of jealousy, manifesting 
itself in her extreme hatred of the wizarding world.

This is what I have been searching for in my latest rereads of the 
books.  I have been unable to find anything that explicitly confirms 
the true nature of Harry's maternal family.  Certainly Dumbledore has 
never said "Harry, there is zero wizard blood in the Evans family."
