LisaMarie:
After the Dementor attack near Privet Drive (OotP), Harry offers to let Mrs. Figg 
use Hedwig to contact DD, and she says that she needs to let him know 
immediately.  This says to me that Squibs *could* use owl post, but that 
specific situation requires something more instant.  After all, sending owl post 
doesn't really require magic, just access to an owl.  

Oh, another reference I just thought of: Hermione sends word of her prefect 
status to her parents using Hedwig.  When they are leaving for King's Cross, 
Hermione says that her parents "sent Hedwig back," which leaves room for 
them to have sent a congratulatory message along.

Just off the top of my head.
