Still unknown. Harry believes they don't exist, Quirrell may or may not, and Hermione's death released a big explosion of Hermione-ness.

Her death released a big explosion of her magic. If Quirrel revives her body, she likely won't be a witch any longer.

Except that magical power has already been established to be genetic. The Potterverse doesn't have Wheel of Time-style shields or cutting people off from their magic, to the best of my knowledge.

Wheel of Time-style shields

Ugh, stilling. What a horrible idea that was.
