My big problem with this theory is that it devalues JKR's whole 
message about it's the choices we make, not who we were born to that 
makes us.   By putting squibs/wizards in Lily's background you are 
essentially muddying up that message because it would support 
pureblood claims that wizarding is in blood and not some talent that 
seems bestowed on people.

I believe this is simply a case of parents being proud of their 
children uncondtionally.   I'm sure Hermiones muggle parents are very 
proud of her too.   They may not entirely understand what she is 
doing but they are still proud of her accomplishments.
