Geoff:
JKR seems to have contradicted herself here. In her website, as Jason 
points out, she says that Squibs can only sense Dementors, not see 
them.

However, in OOTP, we have....

'"Incidentally, can Squibs see Dementors?" he (Fudge) added, looking 
left and right along the bench.
"Yes, we can!" said Mrs.Figg indignantly.'

(OOTP "The Hearing" p.131 UK edition)

If JKR's information on the website is accurate, why should Mrs.Figg 
lie?
