Er, Tom Riddle and Harry for two. Hagrid and Madame Maxime
probably count, unless the average giant can do magic.
>>

I'm pretty sure Harry is considered pure blood; I believe
the pedegree only has to go back one generation.

I wasn't going to count Hagrid and Madame Maxime, but now
that you mention it, they're halfsies of quite a different
kind. ^_^

I sort of a theory that he hated Muggles because his
Muggle father left his witch mother to die, adn he was
bitter about it, saying all muggles were a nuisance unto
the world.
>>

I agree. He reacted to his father's intolerance by
developing his own. Also, if he was picked on at the
Muggle orphanage, he likely reacted by convincing himself
that he was better than them because of his powers.

Besides, Molly probably thinks Ron looks darling in
maroon (it shows off your Weasley hair!), and gets maroon
stuff for him because she thinks it's his color and it
makes the laundry easier to sort.

Oh, non, non! All the Weasleys are redheads; Molly should
know very well that all shades of red clash hideously with
red hair. Maroon probably makes Ron look brunette. This
struck me immediately when I read the books, but that's
probably because my mom and I both have red hair. ^_~

(*flinches* there probably is no language called Korean
is there? Please excuse my ignorance, you know what I
mean -- whatever language they speak there)
>>

There is indeed a proprietary Korean language. You need
to go out and get some FinKL songs. ^_^ Or better yet,
Turbo or HOT.

Unfortunately, my knowledge of Korean pretty much extends
to the opinion that it sounds cool when rapped. I thought
the name "Cho Chang" sounded Chinese, and I suspect that
Rowling thought the same. I'm always willing to be
pleasantly surprised, though!
