It wouldn't matter to the basilisk whether or not the person is 
muggleborn (after all it does attack Harry later on), only to the 
person commanding the basilisk.


Griffin782002 now:

I have said this before but I don't mind repeating. 

Snakes can detect a potential victim by smell, using their tongue. They bite the victim, they leave it to run away and can track it down by scent. And some, if not all, can see the heat a living organism emits. I can imagine the Basilisk able to tell the difference between the scent of a pureblood and a muggleborn wizard or witch. And when he attacked Harry, obviously he had to obey Riddle and he could tell by scent, after Fawks attacked him, where Harry was standing. And we should not forget the Basilisk is not a common animal.
