Potioncat:
Well, that's an interesting idea. Can you provide the canon?

For all we know, Eileen was Muggle-born. Heck, let's make her Muggle-
born and Tobias the squib son of a very Dark Magic family.  

I'm not being sarcastic, I just don't think we have any canon that 
says she was Half-blood or Pure-blood. I think we know she was good 
at gobstones and she must have loved books, never to have sold hers.
