I would agree, but apparently, most wizards don't.  That's why I
used the word "considered."  Tom Riddle and Dumbledore both referred
to Harry as half-blood.  I admit that Riddle is a snob and that
Dumbledore may have used the term because he was explaining
Voldermort's thinking.  The fact remain though, that we have seen
two people refer to Harry as half-blood and (unless I'm mistaken)
nobody refer to him as pureblood.

Lady Macbeth:
My ever-increasing appeal for the Malfoys is likely to get me some more
bashing here, but I'll just have to quote a favorite scene anyway. ~_^

Sorcerer's Stone, American Paperback edition, Pg 78:

----- "_Do_ you?" said the boy, with a slight sneer.  "Why is he with you?
Where are your parents?"

"They're dead," said Harry shortly.  He didn't feel much like going into the
matter with this boy.

"Oh, sorry," said the other, not sounding sorry at all.  "But they were
_our_ kind, weren't they?"

"They were a witch and wizard, if that's what you mean."

"I really don't think they should let the other sort in, do you? They're
just not the same, they've never been brought up to know our ways.  Some of
them have never even heard of Hogwarts until they get the letter, imagine.
I think they should keep it in the old wizarding families.  What's your
surname, anyway?" -----
