I would like to reply here, if I may..........I believe Harry would be 
considered a half-blood, even though both his parents are wizards because, in 
order to be pure-blood, all relatives would have to be wizards - at least 
close ones.  I know,it is confusing.  I had to read and reread sections over 
and over again to get it myself!  Hermione is a mudblood because both her 
parents are non-wizards.  I also believe that there is a non-wizard somewhere 
in the Weasley family;  I believe Ron says that he is an Accountant, but does 
that mean that he is not a wizard?  I need to ponder this awhile.
