who's real name is Tom Riddle was sorted into Slytherin as was Severus Snape, the Potions
Master and ex-Headmaster of Hogwarts. Both have dads who are Muggles which therefore
makes their respective sons not pure-blood. As both are sorted into Slytherin, it seems
the House of Slytherin does not require pure-blood status.

> Now to your earlier question... Squibs are not considered pure-blood even though they
may have pure-blood heritage because they cannot perform magic. In fact, Squibs aren't
really considered at all... but that's a different issue. I believe it is possible for a Squib to
have a child who is a witch/wizard, but that child will not be considered pure-blood if it is
discovered that one of the parents is a Squib.

Stacy again:
OMG! I feel sooooo stupid asking that question about Slytherin requiring pure blood
status. Half Blood Prince (Snape), Tom Riddle. DUH!!! Yes, I have read all the books.
Though reading HP while trying to earn a second college degree and raise a daughter,
sometimes I just breeze through them without processing everything.
As to the blood status thing. Would the grandchildren of a squib and a wizard be
considered pure blood if their parents are witches/wizards?
