Honestly, I always wondered how pureblood witches and wizards learned subjects like math and reading/writing if they never had any kind of contact with the muggle world. Not having contact with muggle subjects means that students like Draco and Neville wouldn't be able to read, write, or do basic math (which are necessary skills even in the wizarding world).

Wow Angus had cruel parents but he was blessed with such great Siblings. All of them not only accepted Angus but actually protected his Squib Status from everyone to the point Angus's sister forged a Hogwarts letter, while his brother Hamish literally flew him to Hogwarts, not caring for the consequences should thry be caught. Instead of isolating themselves from him they did everything in their power to give Angus the life of a Wizard. Even when they failed and had their brother disowned and thrown to the streets while they were at Hogwarts, they stuck with their brother and found him on their own disowning their cruel Wizard father instead of their kind and gentle Squib brother. Despite all being witches and wizards they went into the muggleworld to cheer on their Brother with Pride. Thats just pure love for family right there.

[@Byrd50]

[@simplythatguy-o6n]

I feel like rowling missed an opportunity to have rugby played at Hogwarts with this. like it becomes so popular among wizards that they play it themselves because why wouldn't they? also they can afford to play rougher with magical treatment for injuries.

[@GrammyAmanda]

Fascinating! I’ve imagined what it would like to be a squib in the HP world. It’s good to hear about one who ended up with a fantastic life.

[@Hero-g7g]

This is both incredibly and deeply interesting to hear about. Angus definitely deserve all of the good things had happened to him. His dad was truly a piece of trash but his siblings were the MVP's of his story. Being a Squib is like being a collaboration between an Inhuman and a Mutant from the Marvel comic books. I have to say that Angus Buchanan is now officially one of my many favorite character's in HP lore.

[@nhansen197]

What if I told you that Filch is not a squib? I recently reread Prisoner of Azkaban and was blown away by a throw away line. When the portrait of the Fat Lady was damaged, they put the responsibility of restoring the painting onto Argus Filch. My thoughts are that he is a high functioning savant. He can't do regular every day magic, but he can do what would ordinarily take a team of experts to do. Filch repairs the painting of the Fat Lady and no one even blinks an eye. She's simply hung back up as good as new, and it was Filch who somehow managed to do what should have been impossible for him.

I thought about something. Let’s say a squib that makes it as far as the sorting ceremony. Students laugh at them and then Filch walks up and escorts them out but tells them it’s okay and that they aren’t alone. I don’t think it’s plausible but it makes me happy thinking about the caretaker being kind.

Oh, maybe the Brothers Grimm knew them and took their story as inspiration for a fairytale that has a hedgehog as the main protagonist. It is called "Hans mein Igel" ("Hans my hedgehog") in German I don't know the english transtlation. And there is another one called "The Seven Ravens" in which a father's curses turns his sons into ravens. Maybe the Brothers Grimm are wizrads in the Harry Potter-verse and all the Tales they collected are actual events the just noted down like newspapers reporters.Maybe they transformed the hedgehogs back in the end.

[@grahamdamberger7130]

Squibs are on a technicality the opposite of Muggleborns. Both face similar obstacles in different ways. Squibs were frowned upon for being born to Magic families yet not having any magic abilities, while Muggleborns were frowned upon for having magic abilities yet having Muggle parents. If a squib and a Muggleborn were put into a small room together they would tell each other about their struggles and wish that they had the other's parents. Now that sounds like an interesting story for the Wizarding World. Two childhood friends or neighbours or strangers who meet in Daigon Alley, where one was born to a Magic family but didn't inherit their magic abilities and the other can perform magic but was born to Muggle parents, and the daily struggles both go through to hide their situations from their respective parents (can be about 2 boys, 2 girls, or 1 boy and 1 girl) out of fear of being neglected, disowned, or looked down on. Which leads to them making a pact that if both are cast out of their family homes, they would run away together and find somewhere that would accept both of them. It can go from their early childhood to around the time they turn 11 or when it's time for the one from the Magic family to receive their Hogwarts letter, only for the twist to occur.

[@thedragonwarrior5861]

This sounds very interesting

[@omarhisham1745]

I have to mention something: teh reason Muggleborns have magical powers is because they are descended from Squibs

@@xxxnarurto5747 Yeah, it was proven in the Deathly Hallows, when Umbridge said that Muggleborns must’ve stole magic as only people with magical family can have magic, that wasn’t bullsh#t, it’s just that muggleborns magical family are too far up the family tree to be able to trace easily so all muggleborns, like Hermione are secretly descended rom Squibs

Hogg is briefly mentioned on Pottermore, in an excerpt written by J. K.

Rowling later insinuated that Hogg was, in fact, a full-fledged Wizard. I do wonder what all three think about this.

[@Tomthestarhartnell]

As an American; the legendary figure of Martha Steward is one of the most remarkable "sqibs" in history; and her work with her magical sister Rionach, in helping the refugees of the Salem Era, which although her presence was greatly missed by her family; her role in secret can not be overstated; it was her work that would inspire many no-maj men and women during the revolution; and without her; Both worlds would be a much darker place. Her and Angus prove; that magic is not limited to the acts that we can perform with our wands, but also with our minds, hearts, our determination, and imagination!
