Richard here:

Both the muggle!Aberforth and squib!Aberforth theories are disproven 
in canon by Dumbledores story about Aberforth in OotP, wherein he says 
his brother was not bothered by the stories written about him 
following his trial for performing inappropriate charms on goats.  
Neither muggle!Aberforth nor muggle!Aberforth would be able to have 
performed a charm on a goat, inappropriate or not.

Richard, who still wonders what constitutes, in this instance, 
an "inappropriate" charm on a goat ... Perhaps JKR has read "Bored of 
the Rings" ...
