Blurring of Bloodlines

With all this talk of pure-blood, half-blood, muggle-born, etc., I'd like to
direct attention to something very telling, at least to me, that Ron said in
COS and I'm pulling it from the US Edition, Chapter 7:

--Begin Quote--
"It's a disgusting thing to call someone," said Ron, wiping his sweaty brow
with a shaking hand. "Dirty blood, see. Common blood. It's ridiculous. Most
wizards these days are half-blood anyway. If we hadn't married Muggles
we'd've died out."
--End Quote--

I would surmise this is probably the case, a fact which some in the WW would
rather bury than admit.  I say this from a gene-pool point of view.

I recall seeing something on one of the educational programs about this
group of people who were all color blind.  For them, it was just the way
things were.  However, there had never been marriage or breeding outside
that group.  Genetics break down with a lot of in-breeding; one needs fresh
stock, so to speak, to keep lines/groups going.  This being the case, the
possibility/probability exists that a truly pure-blood witch or wizard is
indeed a lot more rare than even the pure-bloods, as I said above, would
dare to speculate.

Perhaps something started going a bit a rye in the WW, making it necessary
to go outside their close-knit group and seek out muggles that had--uh--good
potential, so to speak.

I think one day, even the so-called pure-bloods are going to have to realize
that if it were not for a "freshening up" from muggle blood, there might be
few, if no, wizards left.

So, taking this all into account, the muggle blood has entered the WW and,
conversely, wizard blood has entered the muggle realms.

I sincerely believe that, even with muggle blood, there's no such thing as
an absolute purity of line; someone, somewhere, will have other traits
brought in.  So, yes, the bulk of the WW, IMO, has a couple ounces of
"dirty" blood, and the muggle world has it's couple ounces of wizarding
blood. <Grin>

Submitted for your approval....This is...The Potterverse! :-)

Cheers,

Lee :-)
