Ted Tonks is not Muggle - he is Muggle-born. As for Seamus, I think 
that only Muggle-borns were not allowed to attend Hogwarts. Students 
had to prove that they were of wizard descent and get Blood Status 
("The Bribe" p.210 Am. ed.). Seamus's mother is a witch, so he is 
allowed to attend (Blood Status - half-blood). That's how I understand 
it, anyway :-).
