"A Squib, OTOH, has, as you say, either one or two magical parents, and
is therefore *not* a Muggle. He or she is a Pure-Blood or Half-Blood
who somehow fails to develop magical powers. (The narrator at one
point refers to Filch as a "failed wizard.") Such people can pass as
Muggles, as Mrs. Figg does, or live in the WW as Filch does,
surrounded by Witches and Wizards who regard them as inferior. (It
appears that Squibs, unlike Muggles, can see Hogwarts and communicate
with cats, but they can't see Dementors or cast spells."


Adam:
I agree with your break down of Squib vs. Muggle.  Having knowlage for
the magical world and being able to see things like wizards and
witches but not being one puts you in our own catagory, which is why
JKR did not just refer to those born to witches and wizards with no
magical powers as muggles.
