Lucius is a prejudiced bastard. Rita Skeeter could not care less where
Hermione came from, she was just the female interest in the Harry
Potter story. And ofcourse there is nothing nicer to write about than
a tragic hero abandoned by the one he loves for his foreign adversery.
   Friendship is just not interesting enough for the likes of Rita.  

As for the hatemail: It's hatemail, what would you excpect. It has
nothing to do with her being muggleborn, but by her abandoning St.
Potter, tragic young hero. If she were pureblood she would have gotten
just as much and just as nasty letters. Only then probably about how
she considered herself too good for him or such nonsense.
