Muggles are non magical. Muggleborns are born of muggles. If it skipped a generation it would still not make them muggleborns

So if Dudley would have been a wizard he wouldn't have been a muggleborn.

It did not skip a generation with Harry's mum. She was a muggleborn. He is a half-blood. Petunia is a muggle, just as Vernon is. Which makes Dudley a muggle. Neither of them was a half-blood like Frank's aunt is. That's the difference.

Right. But Frank's mother is still a muggle since she is non-magical since she didn't get the gene from her mother. And his father is a muggle therefore making Frank a muggleborn. There are muggles that are born to wizarding families though. So if a muggle from a wizard family had a wizard child with another muggle that would make the child a half-blood.

If the aunt is a half-blood and Frank's mother's sister, then his mother was a half-blood too.

she would be a half-blood even though she wasn't magical?

You don't get this, do you... -sigh- Look, I think it would be best to let Auz take it from here before I lose my cool and just say no to the character to save my last remaining piece of sanity.

ok, so you're saying that it wouldn't be possible for his mother to be a muggle.

Yes, that is what I am saying. Both would have the same parents, and family, which has pureblood and half-blood in the lines. That means there is magic in the family, therefore not muggle.

Right, I guess that when I thought wizards could have muggle children like muggles can have wizard children I was wrong.

No, the children are squibs, not muggles.

I forgot about squibs. ok thats what I needed to hear. I didn't know Filch and magical parents. Is that even included in the reading?

Squibs are explained in one of the books.

Yes it is; but right now I cannot think straight enough to remember which book.
Edit: And squibs do not decide they don't want to learn magic. It is that they cannot use magic, whether they want to or not. That is why they do not go to Hogwarts or other wizarding schools.
