Doh! Yeah, you're right of course!

One the other hand, I would bet that (despite Tom Riddle's ancestry)
LV and his supporters would have no less contempt (and possibly more)
for half-bloods.  

Anyway, I'll still speculate that there may be a mudblood revolt in
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.
