One of drjuliehowards' questions is: at what point is a wizard a 
pure blood?

I don't think there is such a thing as a "pureblood."  Unless there 
was a separate magical Adam and Eve (or whatever people really 
arose), then all magical people have muggles in their family trees.

"Pureblood" is just a term some witches and wizards use to feel 
superior but who cannot indentify the muggles back in their 
genealogy.

If Hermione marries a wizard and has children, her children wouldn't 
be "purebloods" even though both parents would be magical because 
she can identify the muggles in her children's genealogy.
