As the title asks, is it genetically possible for a Squib to produce magical offspring, or would the Squib gene trump the magic gene in all cases? How would it be possible for a Squib to have magical children? Additionally, must a Squib come from a pureblooded union, or does the possibility of a half-blood Squib exist?
Answer
Yes, it's possible. In fact, it's where "Muggle-borns" come from (though usually after a few more generations).
This answer cites an explanation JKR gave during a webchat (here's a transcript of the full chat):
Muggle-borns will have a witch or wizard somewhere on their family tree, in some cases many, many generations back. The gene re-surfaces in some unexpected places.
