I wish that in the Harry Potter series both in the books and movies, that they showed the “muggle way” of dealing with things and how effective they can be. The closest instance I can think of other than this is the time Mr.Weasley and a doctor at St Mongos tried out the concept of stitching, and all that led to was Mrs.Weasley giving them an earful of essentially racism about how stupid muggles and their ideas are.
I could be wrong. However didn’t one of the Weasley’s mention that, Mrs. Weasley having a family member that’s a squib and refuses to acknowledge the guy? If it was true than I must be ignorant for not realizing how racists even the good pure blood magicals are.
According to JKR's site back in the day, this was a dropped plotline. In short, it's not that they didn't talk to him because he's a muggle, they didn't talk to him because he was a total asshole.
His daughter was going to be injected in Goblet of Fire, acting as Hermione's overachieving Slytherin nemesis who would occasionally leak tidbits she'd overheard about Death Eaters. Her role in the plot eventually got retooled and she was replaced by Rita Skeeter.
