IMO JKR wants us to know that Lily and Petunia are Muggles.  Harry is 
a half-blood as is Voldemort. IMO this is a crucial part of the story.

If Lily's Grandparents are Muggles then we must go back 6 or 7 
generations to find magical blood. 
M - Muggle , MM is Muggle Mother, MF is Muggle Father

Lily (M)
Lily's Parents (MM) (MF)
Lily's Grandparents (MM) (MF) (MM) (MF)
For this to be true:
Lily's Great-grandparents must be Muggles
(MM) (MF) (MM) (MF) (MM) (MF) (MM) (MF)

I find it interesting that in a story which includes a look racial 
acceptance/conflict (fullblood, halfblood, mudblood, <are there other 
names for quarter and eight blood> ) the protagonist and
antagonist are both "halfbloods".
