I'm formulating a hypothesis and, in order to determine whether 
I am deranged, I need to know the following:

Where (if anywhere) in the canon is it SPECIFICALLY stated (not 
alluded to, not obliquely mentioned, but, rather, stated 
outright) Lily was Muggle-born?

If none of the previous examples were enough, here's a direct quote from JKR at the World Book Day Chat (4/4/04):
 
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.
 
So... JKR is saying quite directly that Harry is "the half-blood boy."
