I think I get it now...techincally it doesn't matter that he wasn't born
to wizards parents, it more that fact that one parents was muggle-born.

Now I have this question...

If Harry married a wizard that their child is a wizard and that child
marries another wizard, and so on and so forth...how many generations of
marrying wizards are needed to be considered pure-blood? Is this even
possible?
