Lolita now:

Maybe Petunia & Lily's parents were both squibs? Then it would be 
reasonable that 'they were thrilled to have a witch in the family', 
as Petunia told us in PS. And it would explain her knowledge of some 
things connected to the wizarding world. 
   
  Catherine again:
   
  What a great thought....then what would the non-magical daughter of a pair of squibs be considered? 
  Granted I thought JKR said that the "magic gene" was dominant and resilient, so I don't know if a pair of squibs could produce a magical daughter. Just like 2 people with blue eyes can't produce a brown-eyed baby as they lack the dominant brown-eyed gene. Maybe the magic gene is more complicated than the eye-coulured gene (which is pretty simple) could be more like hair-colour. But dominant means that if you possess the gene, it will be displayed over the recessive gene. 
  Oh, it's too early in the morning for me to be contemplating genetics...I haven't even had my tea yet! But that was an excellnt thought Lolita!
