magic in very desperate conditions. 
I'm sure it's been discussed, but anyone have a thought on who 
this could be?

Carol:
If the List Elves will forgive me a short post, we've recently gone
through this topic at least twice. The prime candidates are Filch and
Mrs. Figg, both squibs (and both considerably older than the
Dursleys). Muggles (including all of the Dursleys) are nonmagical
people, by definition unable to become witches or wizards at any point
in their lives.

Sorry I don't have time to look up the relevant posts, but you can
probably find the Petunia and Mrs. Figg threads easily enough by
looking at the Message Index for the last few weeks even if the Search
function is still acting up.
