Is he not a muggle?
I thought that Tonks' mom got like disowned because she married a muggle...yet he is on the run with Dean and the goblins because he is a "muggle born" also, when harry and hagrid get to their home near the beginning, he tells harry that he healed him...implied that he has a wand or something?
anyone?

He was a Muggle-born, not a Muggle (and she got disowned for marrying a Muggle-born).

OotP chapter 6:

Quote:
"You and Tonks are related?" Harry asked, surprised.
"Oh, yeah, her mother Andromeda was my favourite cousin," said Sirius, examining the tapestry closely. "No, Andromeda's not on here either, look – "
He pointed to another small round burn mark between two names, Bellatrix and Narcissa.
"Andromeda's sisters are still here because they made lovely, respectable pure-blood marriages, but Andromeda married a Muggle-born, Ted Tonks, so – "
Sirius mimed blasting the tapestry with a wand and laughed sourly.

I kept getting that impression from the way it was written as well. I think it was more the way that muggle-borns were looked at by death eaters seeping into the story-line of the trio.
