Sorry to burst any hypothesis bubbles, but in the World Book Day 
Chat (4/4/04), JKR herself answers the following:

question: why did voldemort pick harry and not neville?

JK Rowling replies -> Dumbledore explains this in 'Order of the 
Phoenix'. Voldemort identified more with the half-blood boy and 
therefore decided he must be the greater risk.

Since JKR identifies Harry as "the half-blood boy" I doubt there is 
any question as to Lily's parents' muggleness.
