[First post, and away from books, so bear with me]

Harry is a half-blood. Tom Riddle says so, IIIRC Dumbledore agrees, and I 
think Hagrid says something similar too. So it would appear to be fairly 
certain.

James Potter is *not* muggle-born. ISTR the Potter family being described as 
one of the old wizarding families.

Therefore Lily *must* be muggle-born, or else HP wouldn't be a half-blood.

Having said which, you've then got to wonder where Petunia Evans (as was) 
got to know quite so much about Azkaban and Dementors, etc. The Grangers 
don't seem to be so aware of the ins-and-outs of the wizarding world; I'm 
sure Hermione remarks on this at some point (?).
