Also, Ron says, ""I always knew Salazar Slytherin was a twisted old loony," Ron told Harry 
and Hermione as they fought their way through the teeming corridors at the end of the 
lesson to drop off their bags before dinner. "But I never knew he started all this pure-
blood stuff. I wouldn't be in his house if you paid me. Honestly, if the Sorting Hat had tried 
to put me in Slytherin, I'd've got the train straight back home ...." CoS p 151 (US Ed.)

Then, during the Polyjuice episode, Malfoy says "Arthur Weasley loves Muggles so much he 
should snap his wand in half and go and join them," said Malfoy scornfully. "You'd never 
know the Weasleys were pure-bloods, the way they behave." CoS p. 221 (US Ed.)

I have a memory of DD mentioning them being one of the old pure-blood families in PS/
SS, but couldn't find it...
