Najwa here:
Ok I have this vague memory that Aunt Petunia couldn't be the late 
bloomer, and if so please remind me, because I just feel that she 
might be the one. Her or Filch, and Filch wouldn't interest me as 
much as Aunt Petunia becoming a witch, so I'm hoping that memory is 
wrong. Who better to become one, and JKR seems to be hiding 
something about Petunia anyway, and sort of laughs at the idea of 
Petunia being a squib, but said it was a good guess. Hagrid already 
knows magic, so it couldn't be him, and Lockhart knows magic, just 
isn't very good at it. I think to be a squib you couldn't do any 
magic at all and come from a family of Witches and Wizards. Anyway, 
feel free to squash my train of thought and set me straight :)
