Moi:

I'm confused about where all this is coming from.  Lily was not a 
muggle.  Muggles are non-magic folk.  Lily = magical, not muggle.  
Lily was a muggle-born witch (like Hermione), making her a mudblood 
(like Hermione).  Presumably, James was a pureblood.  Harry is a 
halfblood.  Why?  Both of his parents are not pureblood, only one of 
them is.  Harry is not a mudblood because neither of his parents are 
muggles.

So, does this mean Harry (with two magical parents) is more powerful 
than Voldemort (with one magical parent)?
