Nora now:

It is indeed what young Creevey (I don't remember his name right
now), explained to Harry after his sorting: that his father was a
milkman, that he was very surprised upon reception of the letter, and
that he didn't know that the funny stuff that he could make was magic.
By the way, in his family there happen to be two magical muggleborn
kids, Michael (?) and Denis.

Regarding Petunia, I do not think she is a witch, neither a squib.
But there is something about her that needs some explanations or
revelations in book 7, I guess. I hope we will get them.
