I sincerely doubt that Harry was born a Squib.  In PS/SS, in The-Hut-
On-The-Rock, Hagrid says to the Dursleys, "James and Lily Potter's 
son, not go to Hogwarts? Yer mad.  His name's been down in the book 
since he was born."  (I don't have my book available so it's not an 
exact quote, sorry, but that's the gist of it.)

I assume that the "book" Hagrid refers to is the same one JKR has 
told us about:  a magical quill writes the name of a magical child 
down in this book whenever that child is born.  

If Harry's name is in that book he must, indeed, be magical - for he 
was born over a year before LV performed the AK and transferred his 
powers.  (Also, at the end of CoS, DD says, "Voldemort transfered 
*some* of his powers to you" - SOME, not ALL.)
