Reference to Harry's pureblood status (was: Is Harry a pureblood?)

Me (Jim):"He [Draco] doesn't call Harry a pureblood explicitly there, 
but Draco obviously considers Harry a pureblood who hasn't got the 
right prejudices -er, feeling."

Bugaloo:"I simply do not make the same interpretation.  Draco never 
actually makes any reference to Harry's "blood-type" as it were.  He 
refers to Hermione in the worst possible terms as a "jumped up 
mudblood"  He obviously feels Harry's regard for Hermione is ill-
placed."

Doesn't that say that he considers Harry of a higher status than 
Hermione? I understand that he could only consider Harry a "half-
blood," but his willingness at first to 'befriend' Harry suggests he 
thinks Harry is a half-blood - not that Draco's opinion is of much 
consequence.

bugaloo:"What can I say?  I consider Draco to exemplify the 
absolutely worst aspects of human nature. He is a reflection, of 
course, of his father."

Well, we at least agree on *that.*
