A muggle is a non-magical person from non-magical
parents.  However, you CAN be muggle born AND have
magical relatives because you can have a cousin or
aunt/uncle who is both magical and muggle born.

I'm pretty sure you're right about Lily being muggle
born and not having magical relatives though. 
However, I'd love it if we found out she was from a
magical family and Petunia is a squib.  That would
definitely explain her hatred/jealousy.
