Geoff: 
Isn't this just a generalisation in speech? My daughter-in-law is one-
quarter Swedish but I usually say, whent he topic comes up that she 
is half-Swedish. Half-blood is really a term to indicate that a 
person is not totally from wizarding blood. Is there a more general 
(and acceptable term) which would correlate with describing someone 
in the real world as Anglo-French or Sino-American for example?
