 Has JKR ever stated that Petunia was definately not magical?

I've always wondered who was the older sister. We know that JKR has
said that Petunia is not a squib, although apparently this is a good
guess, and we also know that all magical children are sent a letter
for hogwarts, but not all choose to go. we have evidence from
voldemort that JKR obviously feels that whatever we dislike most in
ourselves is what we most vehemently denigrate in others, I wonder
if she got a letter, is magical, but chose not to go. Don't forget,
JKR has said that Dumbledore's letter to Petunia 'Remember my
last'in OOTP is not the first letter he's sent her. I'm sure there's
been much speculation as to the content of these previous letters,
but what if it was THE Hogwarts letter?
