Magda thinks differently:
Actually I think the late blooming magic-user will be Petunia and she 
will use it in a frantic burst of motherliness because Dudley and 
Harry are being menaced again.  It would be one of those moments of 
dramatic irony that she does the same thing as her "freak" sister to
protect her child.  And I'm still half-convinced that she's the one
who broke Aunt Marge's wine glass in POA.
 
If it isn't Petunia, I'd like it to be Filch just so he can have some
payback for all those years of cleaning up after dungbombs.
 

Kemper agrees:
I think you got it right, Magda.  I posted (108486) similarly, though 
no one responded to it.  But, if it's not Petunia, then I hope it is 
neither Filch nor Figg.  This obviously cuts the list down a bit.  
But I don't think JKR would have the Squibs develop magic, it would 
water down one, maybe more, of her themes.
Also, I just really want it to be Petunia.
