Alright, so someone sent me BTC about 2 hours ago, transaction showed up immediately. Since then, 3 blocks have been solved (779, 780 and 781) but I still have 0 confirmations. Is this normal or should I become worried that in fact I didn't get any BTC from the guy?

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

It might be low priority.  You can search here to see if it's on the books, but too low priority to get confirmed yet.
