Squib Timeline

Hi folks, was thinking if two squibs or a squib and a muggle get married and have kids who aren't magical, how many generations is it until they are classed as muggles who have no magical stuff in them at all?

I ask because in book one we find Ron referring to a relative of his Mum's who's a muggle, yet I thought the Weasleys were pure bloods. Does this suggest that a couple of generations back there was a squib in Molly's family who has done as mentioned above and is now just classed as a muggle?

It also ties in with Harry's Mum's family - the Evans'. What if there had been some magical ability a few generations before and that was why her parents were so proud of Lily getting her letter, and maybe also why Petunia is so anti it, maybe that was something in past generations that she wasn't happy about.

I would think that they would be muggles, but maybe not. It is hard to tell sometimes would would happen since really only JK knows, but I still would assume them to be muggles that know a little of the magical world.
No, I think that the muggle married into a wizarding family. Someone said in the books, I don't remember who it could be Ron, Sirus, or Dumbledore) that no family is really pure. I t's just that they seem to forget that they once had a muggle in the family, ya kno.

Maybe. I don't think there is any real way of knowing, but I think that it kinda makes since. I mean maybe that explains Lily's eyes. Maybe Lily has eyes like some powerful wizard in the past that is related to her is some distant way.

Notice there was a lot of maybe's. I am jsut guessing with most of this, but really that is all we can do.

Rowling has said that Petunia never has done magic and never will do magic. But we will find out something more about her and Lily in book 7, really big apparently - about the first time Dumbledore communicated with Petunia. It wasn't when Harry was left on the doorstep apparently. Could she have also received a Hogwarts letter at age 11 and decided not to go? But what would have gotten her to decide that?

JKR said in that big interview last year that
"Petunia is all muggle" or something like that.
I'll find it tonight and come back to this spot sometime tomorrow.

Yes, she is deffinately a muggle.


I think that the last time Dumbledore talked to Petunia was probably right when Lily and James died don't you? Before Harry was on their doorstep he could have apparated to Privet Drive and told her what's what, ya kno.

Or maybe it was when Lily and James were in danger of being chased by Voldemort and went into hiding.
