Sherry asks:  Where exactly (canon here please) doesit 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.

Hello all, Fred Waldrop here;

JKR said in an interview that Lily was muggle born and James was a 
pure blood.
Hope that helps.
