wouldn't have received a letter from Hogwarts.>

Sawsan here:
Hagrid does have powers, but after the Chamber of Secrets problem
during his school year I think they might have stopped him from using
them. In the Sorceror's stone he uses his umbrella to light a fire and
he grew a pig tail on Dudley. So he must be a wizard. He just probably
isn't allowed to use it that much considering his record. He did ask
Harry not to mention it to anyone. Filch, who is a squib can't do any
sort of Magic at all apparently, and neither can Mrs. Figg, who is
another squib. As for squibs and magic, I think that, just as
severelysigune wrote, they are the exact opposites of muggleborn wizards.
