Petunia not the latebloomer, but magic nonetheless

I think that both Petunia and Dudley could be magical and yet not 
have the "magic late in life" label apply to them, simply because if 
they developed their magic early on and either hid it or had it 
hidden from them then they might be using magic later in the series 
and not be breaking J.K.R.'s statement that people are either magic 
or not, and also without them being the latebloomers that J.K.R. 
promised.  The same could be said of Hagrid, he was magical to begin 
with but was expelled so he is just not well practiced but could use 
magic in the coming war.  I would say that the best candidates would 
be one of the squibs we know, because they are the only ones that 
could be late bloomers in the sense that they expected to be magical 
but weren't, other people could be magical but so weak they don't 
know they are magical, or in denial,(i.e. the muggles we are 
familiar with), and any muggle we don't know just being magical all 
of a sudden doesn't make sense to me with the information we have 
been given( but you never know with JKR), so my bet would be on a 
squib, most probably Mrs. Figg in defense of Harry at the big 
showdown on Privet in the beginning of book 6.
