What about Theodore?

I was just reviewing some things on the JKR website, when I found 
something that I never even considered before. Think about Theodor 
Nott, the young Slytherin barely mentioned in the books, but who was 
brought up. His father was one of the DE's that got injured in OotP. 
I know this might lead some people to believe that he can't be Half-
blood, but what kind of blood are we questioning? 

Often times royalty only marries royalty or nobility. So there is a 
possibility that Theodore (who is now being raised by widower 
father) had a mother who was not royalty and a father who was. Look 
at the way she speakes about Nott:

"As in the case of Dean Thomas, I know much more about Theodore Nott 
than HAS ever appeared in the books. Raised by a very elderly 
widower and Death Eater father, Theodore is a clever loner who DOES 
NOT FEEL THE NEED TO JOIN GANGS, including Malfoy's." JKR (emphasis 
mine)
       --She says Has ever appeared, not meaning will ever, but 
meaning hasn't yet. Nott doesn't feel the need to join gangs, like 
he has enough self confidence on his own.--

"we rarely see Draco talking to anybody he considers a real equal, 
and he is FORCED to see Theodore as such, because Theodore is just 
as pure-blooded as he is, and somewhat cleverer." JKR (emphasis mine)

       --Theodore is pure-blooded wizard, but his royalty is only 
half-blooded. Regardless he is still a prince and Malfoy is forced 
into respecting him, rather than demean him as he does everyone 
else.--

The last link that we can establish as to how the revelation of 
Theodore Nott only fits into book six, is the events of book five. 
Theodore's father is the same Nott who was badly injured in the 
closing chapters of 'Order of the Phoenix'. Seeing that Theodores 
father is his only parent, who is going to raise him now? With his 
father gone, Theodore has to take his rightful place as the Prince, 
someone has to rule the throne, because although still living, the 
King is in Azkaban. 

anyone?
