I have been giving this a bit of thought.  The problem hinges on the
statements that Lily was muggle born.  However, at what point would
a squib or son/daughter of one be classified a muggle.  What I mean,
is if for instance, a squib found himself/herself in an orphanage, for sake
of location and had no idea of their background.  Not being on the WW
radar, they would basically be untraceable.

The other thing I cannot figure, is the story that Lily's parents were so
proud of her.  Now, in fact, if at least one of them was a squib, or
descended from one, I can just imagine their pleasure in producing a
magic child.  Provided they knew of their family background a little,
which is a different theory to above.
