You know - we don't know specifically why.  I find *just* the "because his 
father left his mother" theory to be a little inadequate and trite, a little 
too precious, to be the *entire* driver for this plot element.  (But I'm not 
JKR...)

Oh, I'm sure most of them do.  Yes, I think this is a whopping big irony - I 
don't think it's out of ignorance at all, I  think the DEs are responding 
very practically to a demonstration of power on the part of Voldemort - and 
my own take is that, while Voldemort's ancestry doubtless has a nice solid 
plot reason, it's a thinly veiled gloss on Hitler - who was trying to purify 
and perfect the "Aryan race" when he himself was not anything like pure 
Aryan in looks or ancestry.
