"Is Aunt Petunia a Squib?

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."

Ryan, who agrees that there's more to be had from Aunt Petunia.
