I would like to ask a question here, that seems to be driving me
knuts, no where that I have been able to find has there been any
statement that says that Lily's parents were muggles. I have been
looking, for all clues involved and even been reading some of the
supplement books to find all of the clues that I may have
missed for this particular question. I believe FIRMLY that Lily and
Petunia's parents were both wizards! Petunia must be a squib, it
explains her contempt for anything magical....ANYTHING! Not to
mention that she is the older sister and "Our parents were so proud,
there is a witch in the family." It's quite possible that with all of
the LV stuff going on, they were keeping their heads down as to not
let themselves become a target, afterall, we don't know for sure
WHY LV killed the people that he did, or even what were the
Deatheater's motivations either. If I find anything else out, I will
definately post.

Sorry, but it's mention in several books that their parents were
muggles. Snape even calls Lily a mu--lood during the penseive scene
in OOTP.

I don't think that Petunia is a squib, she is also a witch. JKR
mentioned that there would be a witch or wizard that would gain
magical powers late in life under stressful circumstances. It's
definitely Petunia. And it serves her right!
