The Weasleys and the HBP

I don't really like where I'm going with this post, but it's eating at
me so here goes (I just hope nobody else posted the same exact theory
before)

1. As was repeated throughout OoP, "Weasley is our king"

2. As many have commented on previously, many of the Weasley family
members bear names relating directly to royalty, whether historical or
fictional : Arthur, William, Charles, Ginevra, etc...

3. The Weasleys are famous for being a bunch of blood-traitors. But
where did they get that reputation ? What did they do to make others
believe that they don't care about blood purity ? Obviously, it's not
a matter of Arthur or Molly or any of their ancestors marrying a
non-pure-blood, so what can it be ?

4. We know that Arthur is fond of anything and everything muggle.
Well, I hate to ask that, but how fond of Muggles is Arthur *exactly* ?

I really don't like where that reasoning is taking me (I'm not tough
like Kneasy or Pippin, I don't like making horrible assumptions about
beloved characters ;-), but I can't help it. Here we have a pureblood
family, about whom several allusions of royalty have been made, who
are known for being blood-traitors, and whose father is inordinately
fond of Muggles. So I have to ask : is there a dark secret hidden
under the loving surface of Arthur and Molly Weasley's couple ? Or has
someone been lying about their ancestry ( if one of the parents is not
in fact pure-blood, then all the Weasley kids could be considered
half-blood ), and if so, why ?
