Well this is where it all becomes confusing...because
there's "half blood" as compared to full blood, which
is a general term meaning you don't have an entirely
magical lineage. But then I personally differentiate
that from half blood as in your actual parents were a
magical person and a muggle. 

So if Dumbledore does call Harry a half blood (sorry,
it's almost 2 am so I won't be checking right now)
it's the "you have muggles in your lineage" version.

I took the title as the "you had a muggle parent" type
of half blood because numerous characters (Hagrid in
the movie, probably someone else in the book) say that
most witches/wizards are half blood or less. So the
"muggles in your lineage" version would encompass
almost the entire wizarding world and I see the title
as being a bit more selective than: it could basicly
be anyone who's not muggle born or on the Black Family
Tree (as most (if not all) pure blood families are
represented on the tree).

So maybe it's just me, but I think the Half Blood
Prince refers to someone who has one muggle parent.
