I believe Aunt Petunia's words from book 1 about her and Lily's parents:
"They were proud to have a witch in the family," as well as her own attitude
towards the magic word has made it a canon belief that Lily was a
muggle-born witch and has no magical parentage at all.
I think it is also generally believed that James is a pureblood, and I think
that Snape's memory where he calls Lily a mudblood but doesn't call James
one would support that, I can't remember any other quotes at the moment.
