could be locus heterogeniety.different mutations in the parents n so the children can be heterozygotes n thus normal.

there was a qbank q, it think, where father has ocular albinism and mother had another kind o albinism. each type was recessive trait on different genes. so child will be normal cos he cannot be homozygous for any of the two types of albinism.
