Rowling, though fans often speculate she has more awareness of magic due to her history, but she lacks any magical ability, unlike a Squib, who is born to magical parents but can't use magic, notes the Harry Potter Wiki, Quora users, and Reddit discussions. Her resentment stemmed from being rejected by Hogwarts, while her sister Lily was accepted, making her a jealous Muggle, not a Squib, according to sources like Reddit posts and Quora answers.

Petunia is definitely a muggle. Had she had any magic in her, she would have been accepted to Hogwarts. Her remembering what was told to her about the magical world isn't a sign of magical abilities; it's just a sign of having memories.

She wrote to Albus Dumbledore as a child
Petunia didn't just keep her magical aspirations to herself, she actually asked Albus Dumbledore if she could join Hogwarts. Unfortunately, as she had no magical ability, the kindly headmaster had to gently rebuff her.
Voldemort found Nagini in Albania after his initial defeat, likely while he was a weak spirit possessing snakes; she was a unique, powerful snake, possibly a Maledictus (a witch with a blood curse turning her into a beast), making her an ideal companion, and he eventually made her his final Horcrux by murdering Bertha Jorkins with her present. Their connection deepened as he used her venom to sustain himself and later made her a container for his soul, ensuring their bond was profound and twisted.
It never really was forbidden - just that certain places like the chamber there and the Hogsmeade secret entrance were the only things there. It was forbidden during Harry's first year of Hogwarts. It was out of bounds to everyone that did not wish to die a most painful death.

Petunia not only knew who Dumbledore was, but after Lily got into Hogwarts she wrote him a letter begging to be let in as well. He wrote back and was "very kind."
The main LGBTQ+ character confirmed by J.K. Rowling is Albus Dumbledore, revealed to be gay and to have had a passionate, intense love relationship with the dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald in their youth, though this isn't explicitly detailed in the books but rather in later interviews and supplementary materials.

Most likely Voldemort's closest companion, Nagini was a Maledictus who had once been a human woman but due to this blood curse was now permanently a snake – losing all sense of humanity.
Harry misinterprets Tonks's behavior to be about Sirius because that's how he was feeling. But Tonks was depressed because she'd been rejected by Lupin.
Once snape realized this he said out of context “but he thinks it's her son.” Another way to say this more completely would be “I told Voldemort about the prophecy and I would be ok with whatever he decided to do, but HE THINKS ITS LILY'S SON HARRY and now he's going to kill the whole family and more importantly Lily ...
Her last line there is, "You didn't just lose a mother that night in Godric's Hollow, you know. I lost a sister." Since Aunt Petunia usually prefers not to acknowledge Harry's mother at all, it's a surprisingly sweet moment. In the book, she uses her last words to say "Well — goodbye" to Harry.
