I wonder how location and lifestyle has influence on magical capability of parents' future children. In fact I would love to see a few studies: -A heat map of muggleborns with focus on where they prenatally developed and later grew up. -Correlation between location of pureblood/halfblood families and how "magical" their kids are -A study of circumstance of muggleborn's parents childhood.
Perhaps certain environments and parent's life-styles encourage child's magical genes to turn on/off?
Oh yeah, that would be fascinating! Is the rate of Squib births lower in Hogsmeade than in Halifax? Did the Black family produce more Squibs after they moved from wherever their ancestral home was before that nice, modern London townhouse plumbed for gaslights was built? Do Muggle-borns come from families who traditionally practiced certain professions more often than chance would allow? Is there a dietary influence? Does living next to a wizarding family increase one's own children's magical ability even if there is no interaction between the families?
Surely some scholar has at least made a preliminary map of known magical springs and whatnot which they can use as one of the map layers for comparison.

...Would that mean that living around magical family is equivalent to living in irradiated area? I can see a total chaos the moment muggle government realises this and informs the public about WW existence.
Hogwarts must be like the magical equivalent of an open nuclear waste pit. I wonder if Filch's magical ability has strengthened a tiny bit over the years he's lived there?
Muggles learning of the wizarding world can't go well. "They've wiped our minds how many times? To cover up how many times they've attacked us for fun? Well, let's see how their magic deals with thermal imaging cameras and snipers!"
Or does exposure to magic increase the likelihood of magical children? How much magic exposure is needed? At what stage of life/development is most effected?
