>I don't think their kids would be half-bloods.  What that situation 
would be is Ron marries Hermione's completely hypothetical and 
probably non-existent Muggle sister.  Their kids are magical.  They 
would be half-bloods.

>Otherwise, Harry himself would be a half-blood, and Malfoy would hold 
that against him.  Since Malfoy never says a word about it, I doubt 
Harry is a half-blood.

No, sorry Joshua - I seem to be disagreeing a lot tonight - time for more chocolate I think! Technically you could say Harry was a three quarter-blood I suppose, but it starts getting tricky then! You certainly couldn't say he was a pure blood as Lily was muggle-born, and he's obviously not a muggle-born himself, so there's really nothing else left than to be a half-blood. Probably not so much meant as exactly half, but just the line between pure and muggle. You'd probably be a half-blood until everyone had forgotten that great-great-great-great-granny was a muggle!
