knuts, no where that I have been able to find has there been any 
statement that says that Lily's parents were muggles. I have been 
looking, for all clues involved and even been reading some of the 
supplement books to find all of the clues that I may have missed for 
this particular question. I believe FIRMLY that Lily and Petunia's 
parents were both wizards! Petunia must be a squib, it explains her 
contempt for anything magical....ANYTHING!  

Hickengruendler:

Petunia is not a Squib. JKR was asked this and she denied it. She 
specifically said that Petunia is not a Squib, although there is 
something more about her. Besides, Lily is muggleborn, therefore her 
parents can't be wizards. And I think Petunia's contempt for anything 
magical can be explained very easily. She was the sister who was left 
out of the wonderful world. Lily could participate and Petunia 
couldn't, which made her bitter and angry. I think it is completely 
unimportant if she is a muggle or a squib, the important point is 
that Lily could do magic and she couldn't.

Hickengruendler, who disagrees with the popular opinion that Petunia 
is the one who will do magic and still puts all his money on Filch
