Potioncat:
I think she can feel the effect of Dementors, and she knows what they 
are, but I don't think she was telling the truth about seeing them. It 
doesn't appear that wizards and witches are certain of what Squibs can 
and cannot do--didn't someone ask?

I'm 99% certain that I've seen a quote from JKR that confirms this, but 
I'm darn if I can find it.
