What about Mrs Tonks? Granted, she is a very minor character, but she 
married a Muggleborn, much to her family's displeasure. This 
definitely shows some positive character traits.

Snape's mother, too, was a Slytherin, who in spite of any pureblood 
biases in the house married a Muggleborn. Granted, it's hard to call 
her admirable, since she seemed to have been a very phlegmatic woman, 
who let herself bullied by her husband, in spite of the fact, that 
she was the witch. (On the other hand, it does show, that she was 
unwilling to use her powers against someone, who doesn't have them, 
which is a virtue Hagrid or the Weasley twins did not share).
