[HPFGU-OTChatter] Re: Question about Pure Bloods and House of Slytherin

> Kemper now:

 > I'm not sure if you read the books, so I hope I'm not spoiling anything, but Voldemort 

 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?

 

 

Kemper again:
I don't think so as Harry is considered an Half-Blood even though both his parents are magical.  So he must be considered Half Blood because his mom's parents are Muggles.  I'm guessing that if even one of them was magical and the other a Muggle or Squib then Harry would still be considered an Half-Blood.

I'm also guessing that Harry's kids are considered Full Blood if not Pure Blood as all sets of grandparents are magical.  However, I don't recall Full Blood being used as a description in the books so my assumption is canon weak.

Kemper, who hearts Figgy
