Caesian responds:

Several posters have already put forth evidence that Muggles, namely 
the Durlseys, can use owls.  As for Squibs, the large tawny owl that 
fluttered past the kitchen window on the morning before Harry's arrival 
at Privet Drive (PS, Chapter 1) was probably intended for Mrs. Figg.  
That is the one piece of canon I can recall which specifically suggests 
that Squibs can use owls.
