I was thinking - I don't remember reading anywhere in canon that 
whether you had pure blood or 1/2 muggle blood made a wizard more 
susceptible to attacks at all.  I believe that a wizard's skills and 
talents do not depend on their parentage or percentage of wizarding 
blood. Instead it would be their inate abilities, training and 
talents.  Truthfully someone as *screwed- up* as Voledemort might 
actually get some decent qualities such as compassion, kindness or 
friendship from Harry's blood, who knows.  :-)
