I also think that no other Muggle-born witch/wizard has a sibling 
other that Lily Evans. 

So this asks a few questions. 

Are Muggle-born witches/wizard's siblings magical because the older 
sibling or just unlucky? 

Secondly has JKR in her infinite wisdom avoided answering this 
question by only having Lily as the only Muggle-born with a sister or 
will Dean/Hermione have a brother/sister that is magical? 

My answer to the first question is that we can only guess. The answer 
is unlucky if Petunia is a Muggle or yes if she turns out to be a 
witch. (Anyone else notice the Petunia fits into the stereotypical 
witch image.)

The second question has a bit more of a definite answer, we know that 
Hermione has no brothers/sisters unless she has failed to mention 
them.(Unlikely esp. as her parents are both dentists, therefore 
v.busy). Dean is not known well enough by Harry to know the answer, 
though considering they are now in 5th year and junior Thomas would 
have probably started Hogwarts by now.

Any other ideas/suggestions?
