The reason why Harry has never been called a mudblood, is simply the 
fact that he isn't one.

Mudbloods have BOTH muggle parents >> we know that Harry's parents 
were a witch and a wizard because they both attended Hogwarts.

However, Lily Potter was a "Mudblood" (I hate that word) as is 
mentioned in CoS by Tom Riddle a.k.a Lord Voldemort. "You'll be back 
with your dear Mudblood mother soon, Harry."

Harry has a wizard and a witch for parents, the fact that one of his 
parents was muggle-born is irrelevant.

Me:
I think the reason there are differing views over whether Harry is a halfblood or pureblood (we seem to have ruled out mudblood) is because he can be either, depending on who you ask. Techncially, he is a pureblood, because he is the child of two magical parents. To people in the WW like the Weasley's or Dumbledore, Harry probably is considered to be pureblooded. But Tom Riddle refers to Harry as a half-blood. Why? Cause Riddle's a bigoted jerk, and any taint in Harry's blood rules out any possibility of Riddle considering him to be a pureblood. So, IMO, it really depends on who you ask.
