I was just reading GOF again to refresh my memory and get ready to  
move on to OOTP and came across this sentence that Voldemort speaks  
to Harry in the graveyard. Why does he compare Lily to his father?  
was Lily a muggle? I thought Harry's parents were a wizard and a  
witch. Any thoughts on this? Maybe I am just not understanding the  
quote properly.

me:
Okay... Voldie has a muggle father- tom riddle, and a witch mother... doesnt that make him somewhat of a mudblood because he is half and half? So that would mean he isnt pure-blood...shouldn't he be killing himself then>?
