Chris' reply:

I think this is a great shout. (Wonders how I missed it) My guess 
(now) is that one of them was a squib, making the possibility that 
Petunia is Muggle and Lily a witch most likely. It would also make it 
likely that one of Lily's grandparents was magical (and considering 
wizarding longevity) should be around now but is not and hence 
probably killed during the first Voldemort war and their children 
(Lily & Petunia's parents) killed after Petunia moved in with Dursley 
and Lily was at Hogwarts.

Howzat?
