I'm not so sure considering that in the books, more than one student 
have stated that they are the first wizard in the family. I believe 
Hermione and Collin said that (I'm not so sure though) unless that 
the ancestors had hide it to the rest of their family that they were 
wizards. I imagine someone like Hermione as soon as she got her 
letter will have been researching like crazy in her family tree if 
there was someone that was a wizard.

Of course, that's just my thought

Here's my opinion on the subject.  If we take this to a scientific point of view, every so often within a generation will develop a trait that is usually not part of their family history.  Nature makes sure that everything it creates will continue to exist.  Purebred pets are considered valuable and special, but they are also very fragile.  They have less immunity to certain diseases and may be born with abnormalities.  If you continue to have children within a small group then it will become evident that these powers will eventually fade and disappear.  That's why intermixing will develop stronger breeds and healthier.
