Chys:

I think in this one, it's squib since it's FROM a magical parent 
but with no magical ability. I don't know what it would be for a squib who has muggle/squib children with another squib or with a 
muggle as father/mother. Could a squib have wizarding children 
that are still magical?

However, I do think that Squib (who married) a wizard as mother/father who produced an heir he/she would either be born as 
another squib in the family, or a wizard/witch dependant upon 
whether they could use magic or not because the mother/father was 
magical.

Gah. I can see it better this way:

Muggle x Muggle = Muggle child or Wizard/Witch child (In which case 
it's called Muggleborn or 'Mudblood')

Muggle x Wizard/Witch = Squib? or Wizard/Witch child (In which case 
it is half-blood, but is it called a Squib in this case??)

Wizard x Witch = Squib child or Wizard/Witch child (Dependent upon 
family history, this is pure-blooded or half-blooded.)

Squib x Wizard/Witch = Squib child or Wizard/Witch Child (I don't 
know how bloodlines apply to this with intricate family histories.)

Is that right?
Correct me if I'm wrong, as I would want to know.

Thanks
