Carol:
Narcissa is still on the Black family tapestry because she made a
"respectable" pureblood marriage. JKR also talks about Draco as a
pureblood on her website (the deleted conversation with another
pureblood, Theo Nott). So I don't think the HBP is one of the Malfoys.
I can just see them seething with jealousy, though, if the Prince is a
living character and not the memory of Godric Gryffindor. Or how about
the Slytherins as a unit seething over the revelation that GG was a
halfblood prince and their founder was a pureblood commoner!

Carol, who wonders whether the editors will supply the missing hyphen
in "half blood." (I would! Politely queried, of course.)
