"I checked the lexicon and it says they are pure blood, but again is this 
just assumed or is there a direct quote or something from the book that 
confirms it?  Because I honestly can't think of where it might have been 
explicitly stated."

DuffyPoo:
In CoS DD says "The Weasleys are one of our most prominent pure-blood families"  when talking with Lucius Malfoy near the end of the book.

I speculated some time ago that the reason Sirius says his family considers the Weasleys blood traitors is because they married Muggle-borns/half-bloods.  There is a different meaning to the term pure-blood depending on where your prejudice lies.  For the Blacks/Malfoys it means there can be no non-magic influence in any of the family line.  For those like DD and the Weasleys it means everyone in the family is magical.  My thoughts at least.
