When do generations of Squib become Muggles?Ginny Potter-Weasley 14:45, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
As I am sure this is rare, I highly doubt that in a Wizarding family an entire generation would be squibs let alone more than 2... and even if it did occur i beleive that Squibs are distinguishable from muggles enough for them not to fall into the same category. --User:65.25.14.176 07:28, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
Differences Between Squibs and Muggles
In this section it is stated that Squibs can't see Dementors. In OotP Mrs. Figg clearly states that Squibs can see Dementors. What to do? GeneralDuke 18:54, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
- Rowling has said that "Arabella Figg never saw the Dementors that attacked Harry and Dudley, but she had enough magical knowledge to identify correctly the sensations they created in the alleyway". Oread 18:57, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
- Okay thanks. I'll put it in as a source. GeneralDuke 20:36, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
- Just because she didn't see the Dementor doesn't mean she couldn't see one if it were right in front of her. This is not enough evidence to claim squibs can't see dementors. 72.53.92.48 16:18, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Dementors
I am torn on the Dementor thingy. It isnt really clearified. Rowling said "Incidentally, Arabella Figg never saw the Dementors that attacked Harry and Dudley, but she had enough magical knowledge to identify correctly the sensations they created in the alleyway" That could just be that she wasnt there to see it, not that she couldnt see it. -- Ratneer Owl Me! 05:07, January 1, 2010 (UTC)

- Partly I don't get why Squibs wouldn't be able to see Dementors if they can see Hogwarts (Muggles can't see either) and partly I think "one of the characters literally says they can in the book" is pretty good going for a children's story. That's balanced against a line on the author's website. 81.158.231.27 09:16, June 8, 2010 (UTC)
