Geoff:

'twas indeed our Ron in COS.

"'It's a disgusting thing to call someone,' said Ron, wiping his 
sweaty brow with a shaking ahand. 'Dirty blood, see. Common blood. 
It's mad. Most wizards these days are half-blood anyway. If we hadn't 
married Muggles we'd have died out.'"

In Hagrid's hut after Ron's wand backfires and he starts to belch 
slugs. (COS UK edition p.89)
