Which means Squibs can't fucking function AT ALL They can't go anywhere, they can't do anything They either jump into the Muggle world and struggle valiantly to acclimate to a new culture when they're eleven (a traumatic experience) or they live as charity cases like Filch

God, this is actually a really powerful metaphor for disability, queerness, neurodivergence, etc But JK Rowling never explored it because she doesn't care It's so very frustrating All we get is a "good Squib" character in Order of the Phoenix, Arabella Figg

This is probably the biggest of the 10,000 aspects of the HP world that make no fucking sense. Harry has several muggle-born peers, there are known cases of muggle/wizard relationships. How is the entire wizard world so damn dense about everything else?
