Intermingling of Muggle and Wizard Worlds

There's been extensive discussion of what wizard children do 
after 7 years of wizard school and muggles being kept from 
knowing about the wizard world.
 
I got to thinking late last night about nothing in particular 
and the thought has occurred to me that there definitely is 
knowingly intermingling of the two worlds. It has occurred to 
me that, first of all, the muggles who have children attending
Hogwarts obviously know of the wizard world and I am sure some 
of them have told other family members.  I know my family would 
all know.  We know the Grangers have gone to Gringotts to 
exchange muggle money for wizard money and have shopped in the 
many shops in Diagon Alley.  Please excuse any misspellings.  

Also, I have a feeling that there is business done between the 
wizard merchants and muggle merchants, mostly for wizard 
manufacturing materials.  The muggles may not know of the 
business but my instincts tell me that wizard merchants get some 
of their materials from muggles.  We know that various wizards 
and witches live among muggles, i.e. Mrs. Figg.  Also, all of 
the Dursleys definitely know of the wizard world even though 
they would rather not.
 
I hope this makes sense to you all.  It's early and I'm 
functioning on about 3 hrs sleep and it's going to be a long day.
