Petunia and Lilly--sisters?

My first post.

I didn't look in the archives so don't know if someone has 
mentioned this, but if Petunia is older, she may either be 
a product of a previous marriage of one of the parents. This 
would make Lily and Petunia sisters only through the one 
parent. Now the interesting thing to learn for me would be 
if Magical gifts are inherited from  the mother or father's 
side. If Petunia were only Mr. Evan's daughter from a previous 
marriage, then Lily inherits her magic from her mother, and 
this is why Petunia has no abilities.

And how does magic being a virus fit into this?

Just thinking out loud.  Can a muggle couple produce a magical 
child if they have never been magical?  Also, how does Hermione 
fit here since neither of her parents are magical, where does 
she get her power from? I hope that some of this is revealed 
in DH.
