I agree that the muggle-born wizards and witches have a lot to do 
with it, but not that they're the main ones to marry Muggles. I'm 
thinking that the Muggle-born make friends at Hogwarts and the 
friends could visit each other's homes, so the wizard-born friend 
could meet his Muggle-born friend's Muggle sister. When a wizard-born 
marries a Muggle-born (or a Muggle), the two families would mingle at 
weddings and baby's birthday parties and Christmas, creating more 
opportunites for the wizard-born spouse's sister's son to meet the 
Muggle-born spouse's brother's daughter. Perhaps Seamus's father 
was the school friend of Seamus's mother's muggle-born witch 
House-mate's Muggle brother ... the Muggle brother knows his sister
is a witch but is forbidden by wizarding secrecy to tell his friend 
so. The wizarding folk with connections with Muggle in-laws would 
know more about the Muggle world than Arthur and similar clueless 
purebloods, would know enough that they could get jobs or whatever in 
the Muggle world if they wanted to.
