I believe it's only used by those who are very big on the whole 
wizarding pride thing.  They associate, and even like muggles.  They 
give no thought to who they associate with in terms of blood purity.  
The only people I remember using term like these in relation to the 
Weasley's are the Malfoys (father and son), and Lucius Malfoy is a 
known Death Eater.  He probably considers anyone who doesn't support 
LV a traitor to wizard kind. There's a coment in the forward to 
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them that says there's a movement 
to classify muggles as beasts, I have a feeling the Malfoys are on 
board with that.


 Sirius uses it as his family would have, and we know what kind of 
wizards his family was.  His brother was a DE.  

The Weasley's are good, and kind, and fair, basically eveything 
Lucius Malfoy is eager to trample to pave the way for Voldemort's 
rise to power.  So I doubt it was any specific incedent, but then 
again, maybe Aurthur and Lucius were at school together, I'm rather 
fuzzy on the timeline, despite what I've read.


~Margaret, still new, and hoping people will be kind.
