Hickengruendler:

To be honest, and please don't feel offended, if I were on your 
place, I would stop waiting for an explanation to this. JKR is not 
the maths or scientific type, and I doubt she will try to explain 
this in great detail. We know that according to Mendel it is 
impossible, because then either Squibs or Muggleborns shouldn't 
exist. But I don't really care about it anyway, just like I don't 
care why two blond people can have a red haired child. It's just how 
it is. Of course the Squib/muggleborn thing is impossible from a 
biological point of view, but then, it's a world full of magic. So 
who knows what the magic gene does ;-). Of course I don't mean that 
your thoughts aren't valid, I just really, really doubt, that your 
question will ever be answered.
