For a character doing magic late in life, some people on chatrooms
have fingered Stan Shupike who may, according to circumstantial
evidence, be a squib. Others noticed Ted Tonks, who heals Harry
but started as a muggle.

THe spouse question may just be the entire Snape and has he been
in love answer.

Crookshanks?  Very good question. THough I think it would be sweet
if she sent him to Australia to keep him safe and have him watch
her parents.

The bottom line, I'm sure is that JKR plans to put in this stuff,
and some, like SNape's patronus, makes it, and some doesn't. We
fans read all this very very closely.
