>>The only thing is this new information, if it is indeed true and not
a typo, in the FAQ. It clearly says both:
"Therefore Harry would be considered only 'half' wizard, because of
his MOTHER'S GRANDPARENTS."
and
"[I] was chilled to see that the Nazis used PRECISELY THE SAME
warped logic as the Death Eaters. A single Jewish
grandparent 'polluted' the blood, according to their propaganda."
(emphasis mine in both)

To me this is HUGE. Especially the bit where it blatantly says that
Harry is only half, not because of Muggle grandparents, but because
of his MOTHER'S grandparents! It's been pretty much speculation when
someone has pinned Lily's parents as anything but Muggles. But this
FAQ answer blatantly states that ***Harry is Half-Blood because of
his great-grandparents.*** What on *earth* were his grandparents,
then??? <<

HunterGreen:
I'm thinking its just a typo. Why would their family be so *proud* to 
have a witch in the family if one or both of Lily/Petunia's parents 
was a witch or wizard already? Wouldn't they *expect* to have magical 
children? Lily has been stated as being muggle-born many times (even 
once to her face in the pensieve flashback and she doesn't refute 
it). Reading the text in the question (the way its worded), it really 
sounds like a typo to me. I'm going with Steve, I'll only believe it 
after its been up there a month.
