I think that maybe Pippin meant what Muriel said about Squibs at the 
wedding - that they were "usually shipped off to Muggle schools and 
encouraged to integrate into the Muggle community"(p.155). Muriel 
didn't exactly say though that Squib kids were given to Muggles to 
raise:-). I think they were just sent to Muggle boarding schools and 
maybe even encouraged to stay there for the holidays, just like 
Harry. This way they could get Muggle education and later learn some 
Muggle profession, like that Molly's accountant cousin :-).


zanooda, wondering how Filch ended up at Hogwarts ...
