Harry obviously accepts the fact that his mother is muggle-born.  
Otherwise, why would he mention this fact when conversing with Tom 
Riddle in the Chamber.  As for Lily having a secret identity, IMO, it 
is not plausible.  Why would JKR spend so much effort in creating 
this chasm between muggle-supporters and muggle-haters, only to say 
in the end, "oh by the way, Lily Potter really came from an pure-
blood wizard family"?   However, I do believe that all of Lily's 
magical abilities have yet to be revealed.   In fact, I believe it is 
Lily's abilities that will be the ace up Harry's sleave so to speak- 
something that Voldemort would never suspect a muggle-born capable 
of.  IMO, Harry's muggle-born mother passed on some powerful 
attributes to her son-which will prove integral in the defeat of 
Voldemort.
