Eh? Wizards have the concept of mutation, apparently. Perhaps describing Apparition into a sealed tomb, since we Muggles haven't ever come across multi-headed skeletons in tombs we've opened.
But it can't be that the only way into those tombs with the mutant multi-headed Muggles is by Apparating, since Ron, Ginny and the twins aren't old enough to take their Apparation test yet and therefore wouldn't be able to see any of the tombs if that was the case.
They could, however, be hidden from the majority of Muggles by the same sort of conceal that hides Diagon Alley. If so, it's possible that the mutant Muggles aren't pure Muggle at all, but rather Muggle-borns who have some wizarding ability which allowed them to find their way through a crack into the wizarding world.
Why, if so, they didn't get caught by the system and get offered a place at Hogwarts or wherever at the age of eleven is another question. Perhaps they had parents who thought the letters were a hoax and just tore them up, no matter how many owls got sent?
