1) I think Arthur and Molly are open-minded enough to accept a muggle-
born witch into the family.  Arthur enjoyed spending time with the 
Grangers in PoA, and the Weasleys invite Hermione to spend over 2 
weeks living with them in GoF.  And remember at the end of GoF, what 
Molly says to Dumbledore, "We know what Fudge is.  It's Arthur's 
fondness for Muggles that has held him back at the Ministry all these 
years.  Fudge thinks he lacks proper wizarding pride."  Fudge is a 
bigot; Molly and Arthur try not to be.  Can they be condescending 
sometimes?  Yes.  Would they be less than thrilled with Hermione in 
the family? No. 

2) Even if Ron does end up with Hermione,she isn't likely to be the 
first muggle-born daughter-in-law of the Weasleys.  Remember, 
Penelope, Percy's girlfriend, is muggle-born too!

-Jennifer, who thinks Ron will not marry anyone because she's afraid 
poor Ron is doomed to die saving Harry.
