I agree, that is probably more often the case than a wizard marrying 
a muggle.  For one thing, where would an adult wizard *meet* a 
muggle??  If s/he came from a muggle family and still had lots of 
muggle friends, then yes, but even that's questionable.  They arrive 
at Hogwarts at age 11 and leave at age 17.  I can't see any of our 
young witches and wizards leaving Hogwarts and then deciding to live 
regular muggle lives with muggle jobs and muggle friends.  (I 
wouldn't!!)  How boring!
