detail when suddenly, JKR's website changed to say 'Lily first then

OK.  Caution duly noted... But... If, in fact, JKR actually 
titillated us intentionally instead of accidentally (and not just out 
of the excitement of her recently announced pregnancy), why do I have 
no recollection of anyone ever calling Harry a 'mudblood'?  Malfoy 
exhibits no reticence in using the term on everyone else of evident 
Muggle heritage, so why stop with Harry, whom he so clearly loathes 
and envies?
