Hagrid took Harry through the Leaky Cauldron to the Diagon Alley. The Leaky Cauldron faces the muggle inhabited Charring Cross Road, London. Muggleborns enter in the same way.

The fan asked the author if Aunt Petunia was a Squib (a non-magical person who is born to at least one magical parent) and Rowling replied: "Good question. No, she is not, she is not a Squib. She is a Muggle.
During the first books of the series, Neville is portrayed as an incompetent wizard and as poorly skilled at school (with the only exception of Herbology). The character himself reveals in the second book that it was even feared by his family, especially his grandmother, that he was a Squib during his childhood.
Not very, and chances are that there haven't been many. But Deathly Hallows(the book) does have one of the Snatchers who capture the trio comment that “There aren't a lot of Mudblood Slytherins”, so such a thing does happen.
Mr and Mrs Granger – we're never told their first names – were introduced to the wizarding world in much the same way that most Muggles are: they received a letter from Hogwarts, which revealed their daughter to be a Muggle-born witch.

And this is why Hermione does not fit into Ravenclaw, since she lacks their creativity of thought.
