 Apparently the Wizarding world doesn't operate by the "one drop" 
prejudice.  Only people who have TWO muggle parents are ever 
called "mudbloods".  In the first book, Seamus Finnigan (I believe it 
was?) described himself as "half and half",- one parent a muggle, the 
other magic.  This is what Voldemort is, also, and there is 
apparently no stigma attached to having muggle ancestors, so long as 
ALL your ancestors weren't muggles.
