He may not acutally say it, but considering his 
 stance on the issue how many people would take 
 him for anything else.>

Okay, Voldemort is not pureblood. But he is also not a "mudblood". This term 
seems to be only used for people with both parents as muggles. It's used for 
Hermione, but never Harry, who is considered a halfblood. Which is something I 
never really understood. Both of his parents were magical. Yeah, Lily was 
muggleborn but I don't see how that makes Harry a halfblood, like, say, Tom 
Riddle.

Second, it would seem that Yolanda's correct when she says people do not know 
that Voldemort is not pureblood, given Bellatrix's reaction when Harry tells 
her this information. Note though, that there's no reaction from Lucius, who 
is also prominantly featured in that scene.
