>Sherry asks:  Where exactly (canon here please) does
it say that Lily 
is a muggle or muggle born?  I have read all 5 of the
books and still 
don't know where it says that Lily is muggle born. 
Only that her 
parents say "look we have a witch in the family"  and
the belief sort 
of took off but where does it say it in sentence form
that they are 
muggles?

Sharada: HI, I have been in this group for a week and
I have been reading all the mails. 
I have a thought to add about Lily as to how we know
whether she is a muggle born witch.
We know from book five that Dumbledore tells Harry
"Voldemort chose you, a half - muggle born just like
him, to mark as his equal" 
James Potter ,(I don't recollect which book) has
magical parents. And also the fact that Snape says to
Lily in Book Five" I dont need help from Mudblood",
which a term (bad) for Muggle for Witches and Wizards,
thats why Lily's parents are indeed Muggles.
