Squibs are not rare.  Its noted (somewhere in the books)  that more 
squibs are born to purebred families.  Though I bet the Malfoy's would 
have killed off any born in their family.   Even Ron mentions having a 
relitive who is a Squib.  One of the reasons the purebred families are 
dying out, other then marrying non-purebreds is because they are having 
squib children.  Why do you think Neville's grandmother was so concerned 
with knowing he was magical that they would drop him out a window?

I might hazard a guess that DE purebred families drop their kids out 
windows and just let the squibs hit the ground.  Its not like human 
rights means a thing to them...
