Similar to when he refers to Harry as a Half-Blood, even though he's 
Pureblooded.

There seems to be a distinction as well between purebloods. Harry, 
though "pure" in that he has a witch mother and wizard father, has 
Muggle blood through his mother's parents, where Ernie MacMillian and 
Draco make points about being pure for several generations.

Even Hagrid, Harry's friend, though not the most enlightened fellow 
racially (nod to Jenny to show I'm not a blind Hagrid follower) makes 
a comment during GoF about wanting Harry to win the Cup so "it would 
show you don't have to be pureblood to win."

My fondest wish is that Narcissa tells Lucius and Draco that her 
father was actually a dockworker in Liverpool who found all magic to 
be "a sign of the devil" and she only married Lucius for his money.

"Oh, and by the way, Lucius," she says, pointing her wand at Draco, 
whose blond hair turns greasy black and whose cold grey eyes turn 
black. "Draco is Snape's."

Heeheeeheeheee.
