Lily's grandparents

On JKR's website, whilst answering a question about what constitutes 
a half-blood wizard, JKR stated that HP would be considered half-
blood due to his maternal grandparents! If Lily was the first ever 
witch/wizard in her family then surely JKR would have stated HP was 
half blood due to Lily's parents! 

This seems to suggest that Lily's grandparents were Muggles. Lets 
suppose that the subsequent child (i.e. Lily's mum or dad) was also a 
Muggle. Then it seems perfectly reasonable that Lily's other parent 
was a wizard/witch.

If one parent is a witch/wizard and one is a muggle - which world do 
they live in? The fact that Lily is referred to as a mudblood, and 
also Petunia's general behaviour would suggest that they were brought 
up in the Muggle world. However, Petunia's apparent knowledge of 
certain wizarding facts suggests she has had some contact with 
wizards i.e. her mum/dad. 

This leads on to a number of other questions;

(1) Does Petunia's knowledge of Azkaban stem from the fact that one 
of her parents was imprisoned there! (Hence there need to live with 
the Muggle parent)

(2) Is Godric's hollow the family home for Lily's mum or dad (and 
hence HP is descended from Gryffindor).

(3) Is this theory absolute twaddle???
