Hi there, 

I know I do not post often, I spend most of my time hiding in a 
cardboard box trying to catch up on everyone else's theories, but 
this one really caught my attention.  It is funny how we can all read 
the same thing and interpret it so differently.  

I, for one, am not sure Figgy was lying.  I see no reason why Squibs 
can not see dementors.  I see Squibyness (sp) as being a genetic 
difference.  They can not DO MAGIC.  They might have the other, 
inhereted traits that come from being born to magic parents.  They 
can see magical or enchanted things.  This was my explanation to 
myself as to why Filch can work at Hogwarts... a place designed to be 
hidden from muggles.

Ok, back into my cardboard box I go
