Hey  all:

Sorry if I've forgotten any details--I've scoured the Lexicon and  
can't come up with an answer.  

I know squibs seem to have an  affinity for cats--but is there any 
evidence that squibs can/do use owl  post?  

Do they use floo  powder?

Leslie

I see no reason why Squibs couldn't use Owl Post.  It's not as  though
any spell work is involved.  Besides, I believe (but not certain) that  Filch
got his Kwik Spell stuff by owl, and when Harry offers to let Mrs. Figg  use
Hedwig, her only comment was that Dumbledore needed to be notified 
immediately to head off the MoM.  As for floo powder, that's  harder.  
I don't know if that really involves magic ability, or if the powder is 
categorized as being enchanted.  I know in FBWTFT, they say  something
about a magic snake that comes from "magical fires", but again, I  don't
know if it's got to do with the powder, or actual magic.  Sorry I'm  not much
help, but great question!
