My reply:  Would somebody please tell me why on Earth everybody keeps saying that Tonks is a half breed.  TED IS NOT A MUGGLE!
 
Tonks is no more of a half breed than Harry.  
 
Proof?  Two quotes from the book clearly back me up.  
"My dad's a MUGGLE-BORN and he's a right old slob."  (OOP, pg 50 US edition)
 
"Andromeda's sisters are still here because they made lovely, respectable, pureblood marriages, but Andromeda married a muggle-born Ted Tonks, so-" (Sirius quote, pg. 113, US edition).  
 
Now unless my copy says something different than yours we see two references of Ted Tonks being a muggle born wizard, and nothing to dispute that fact.
