erhaps he's not a mudblood. For some reason, I think i
read it somewhere 
(in the books? in a fanfic?) that Tom Riddle was an
orphan. I'm not sure 
whether that means he was an orphan before he got
adopted by Mr. and Mrs. 
Riddle, or did it mean he was an orphan after Mr. and
Mrs. Riddle died. 
*brow furrows* If he was an orphan before Mr. and Mrs.
Riddle, he may very 
well be pure-blooded, just that Muggles found him
first and gave him to an 
orphanage. Er, but if he was the true son of Mr. and
Mrs. Riddle, and became 
an orphan after they died, then he is indeed a
Mudblood. wait...didn't all 
three 'die'? In GoF? I'm confused now.
However, one possible reason why the Death Eaters go
on and on about purity 
of blood is because pure-blooded wizards resent
Muggles coming in and doing 
just as well. The majority of dark wizards come out of
Slytherin (i said 
MAJORITY), but I've neve rheard the sorting hat utter
a word about purity of 
blood to get in there. It's just how ambitious and
stuff you are.
I hope all this actually made sense, because I
confused myself after a 
while.

Sylph

After his mother died Voldemort was left to be raised
by a muggle ophanage.  His father didn't have anything
to do with him after he found out that his wife was a
witch *were they married?*  Anyways, so yes he is a
half-bread.  But what constitutes someone to be a
mudblood.  We never hear Draco make comments about
Harry being one.  I think it's well-known, I doubt
that Harry would make it up, that Lily Evans Potter
muggle born.  *I know the debates rage about that, but
I just think it's a bit unlikely at this point...*

The sorting hat also wished to put Harry in Slytherin
at first, therefore obviously people of Muggle
ancestory are not excluded automatically. 

Also, the majority of Death Eaters come from
Slytherin, that is not to say that the majority of
Slytherin's are death eaters.

I am thinking that this hatred of muggles has come
into play since Voldie came in charge, or maybe a bit
before that.  However, I seriously doubt that it is
one of the requirements to enter into Slytherin.  A
statement Ron (or one of the Weasley's) made in one of
the books suggest to me that a truly full blooded
wizard is very hard to find...he said something to the
effect of if we hadn't married muggles we would have
died out.  Therefore, it's unlikely that they would
find 250 full blooded wizards and witches to fill the
Slytherin dorm room.  but then who knows.
