[HPforGrownups] How do you define a mudblood?

I, too, have wondered at what point in the wizarding world one crosses from 
being "mudblood" to "pureblood".

The wizarding trait seems to be a spontaneous mutation, and like other 
mutations, can "wear thin" after X generations.

At some point, if someone like Hermione marries a "pureblood" wizard and has 
all witches and wizards as offspring, and they marry pureblood witches and 
wizards...to me, it only makes good sense that at some point this "blot on 
the escutcheon" would pass away.
