"As far as somebody like Lucius Malfoy is concerned, for instance, a 
Muggle-Born is as 'bad' as a Muggle. Therefore Harry would be 
considered only 'half' wizard, because of HIS MOTHER'S 
GRANDPARENTS" - JKR FAQ page (emphasis mine)

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but haven't we been lead to assume that 
Lily and Petunia's PARENTS were the Muggles contributing to 
Lily's 'Muggle-Born-ness'? If Lily's Grandparents were the Muggles, 
could it be that her parents, true to much speculation, *were* 
wizards, Petunia a squib, and Lily still considered "Muggle-born"? 
As JKR expands in this answer in comparing DEs to the Nazis("chilled 
to see that the Nazis used precisely the same warped logic as the 
Death Eaters"), "a single Jewish grandparent 'polluted' the blood" 
and likewise, according to DEs, a single Muggle grandparent would 
pollute Lily's blood and render her Muggleborn, still.

Is this a typo (a la the wand order FAQ) which was meant to speak 
about *Harry's* grandparents on his mother's side, or is this a 
juicy truth direct from the quill of JKR??
