According to Draco (if he's reliable), "the last time the Chamber of Secrets 
was opened, a Mudblood died."  That would be Moaning Myrtle.

Other than that, you're right. Cedric is a pureblood according to 
Dumbledore, and when Harry tells Draco in Diagon Alley that his parents were 
a witch and a wizard, that seems good enough for even him, despite the fact 
that Harry's mother was Muggle-born. (Okay, he doesn't know who Harry is at 
the time, but he finds out later, and whatever problems he may have with 
Harry, Harry's ancestry doesn't seem to be one of them.)
