Now Me:

Yes, Lily is Muggle born because both of her parents were not witches or
wizards. They did not come from a magical line. But Harry is not a Mudblood
because BOTH of his parents WERE a witch and a wizard and that makes him
Pureblood. Hermoine's parents are muggles, and she's a Mudblood because
her parents are non-magical. That can't be said of Harry.
