You wouldn't believe the emails we get at the Lexicon about this.
The problem stems from the Black Family Tree on which the note next to 
Andromeda's burn mark notes she "Married a muggle".  Obviously this is 
the reason that the person (Mrs.Black most likely) would SAY for 
disowning her.  To them a muggle-born is the same as a muggle.  It is 
not canon proof of Ted's blood status.  He was a Muggle-born wizard.
It is however canon, because its Jo's wording on the BFT.  People 
write in to tell us *we've* made a mistake on the BFT all the time, 
but we won't be rewriting it.
