Actually, while many wizards live among muggles, Ron and the Weasley 
family does not.  They live on the outskirts of a small town.  I 
believe it's in Goblet of Fire where Mrs. Weasley says the muggle 
postman probably doesn't even know where their house is?  I get the 
feeling the Weasleys don't have a lot of interaction with muggles.
