are not muggles - they are descendents of wizards with magical 
ability that is too limited to perform spells (but note they sre not 
muggles, as they do have some magical characteristics, e.g. see 
dementors or communicate with magical cats).

At what point are the non-magical children of squibs considered 
muggles?  There was discussion a while back about this.  I lean 
toward the idea that the second or third generation of non-magical 
off-spring are muggles.  If this is true, then Lily's grandparents 
or great grandparents might have been magical - hence her parents' 
pride over her talents.  They could have been known about the WW 
even if they weren't part of it.
