I was just reading GOF again to refresh my memory and get ready to 
move on to OOTP and came across this sentence that Voldemort speaks 
to Harry in the graveyard. Why does he compare Lily to his father? 
was Lily a muggle? I thought Harry's parents were a wizard and a 
witch. Any thoughts on this? Maybe I am just not understanding the 
quote properly.

ME:  I think that according to Voldemoret anybody from muggle parents is still, by his standards a muggle.  Remember, only "pure bloods" are worthy witches and wizards and so he's discrediting her as a witch on the grounds of her parantage.  That at least is the obvious "surface" explanation.  There always could be some deeper connotation that we haven't been perview to yet.

As far as being a fool, he was prepared to let her run away and live but she stayed and sacraficed her life for Harry.  According to Voldemort's attitudes and philosophy of life, indeed only a fool would sacrafice their life for somebody else. Even their own offspring.  Voldemort sure wouldn't (if he had any).
