I tend to think of Harry as a Full-blood rather than Half-blood.  The 
difference  IMO between Full and Half is that Harry has two magical parents.  A true 
halfblood (also IMO) is someone with one magical and one muggle parent 
(examples include Seamus, Tonks and even Voldemort himself.)  All had one magical 
parent (their mums coincidentally enough) and one muggle parent.  Whereas 
Pure-bloods are families like the  Weasleys, Longbottoms or Malfoys.  Not a drop of 
muggle blood anywhere in their veins.
