This makes me infer the exact opposite. If a purely muggle family gets the news that they have a witch in the family, they might be confused or even scared. Or, like Petunia, think that Lily is a freak.  But a squib family - now we have folks who would love to have a witch in the family. Even though Petunia, probably trying too hard to conform to the muggle way of living - instead of wizards', where squibs were only ridiculed - hated Lily for again showing magic, when Petunia would fain be out of this magic business for good.

I know JKR once mentioned that Petunia is definitely not going to show magic, and is not a squib. But I wonder, what do they call kids whose parents are squibs. I mean - non-magic kids of wizards are squibs. But non-magic kids of squibs - muggles again??
