<snip JKR quotes>

It appears that most magical kiddies generate untrained,

Uncontrolled, spontaneous magic (I.e., the vanishing glass that freed

The snake in SS/PS). A literal interpretation (always dangerous!) of

The quote means that this NEVER happened to Pet. However, I find

Nothing on JKR's site that calls Pet a Muggle. Have I overlooked the

Quote, or is it in an interview, and not shown on the JKR site?




Tammy Responds

Actually in the text only section of JKR's site there is a link to an
interview on Sunday 15 August 2004 at the Edinburgh Book Festival

Where JKR is asked: "Is Aunt Petunia a Squib?" And her answer was: "Good
question. No, she is not, but—[Laughter]. No, she is not a Squib. She is a
Muggle, but—[Laughter]. You will have to read the other books. You might
have got the impression that there is a little bit more to Aunt Petunia than
meets the eye, and you will find out what it is. She is not a squib,
although that is a very good guess. Oh, I am giving a lot away here. I am
being shockingly indiscreet." so JKR has called Petunia a muggle which means
there is no chance she could be a witch
