There are quite a few references to that. I remembered two right off 
but am certain there are others:

CoS, PP. 316 (Am. ed.): Harry tells Tom Riddle (I use * around words 
that are in italics in the text):
"But I know why you couldn't *kill* me. Because my mother died to 
save me. My common *Muggle-born* mother," he added, shaking with 
suppressed rage.

and

OoP, PP.648 (Am. ed.): In the pensieve scene James Potter tells 
Snape:
"There you go," he [JP] said, as Snape struggled to his feet 
again, "you're lucky Evans was here, Snivellus - "
"I don't need help from filthy little Mudbloods like her!"
