Nora:
> Small nipitck, Kneasy: Harry isn't Muggleborn.  Bellatrix 
considers  him to be a half-blood (because Lily was Muggleborn, 
I assume), but he's actually less half-blood than Tom Riddle, 
who was the child of a  witch and a Muggle; Harry is the child of a 
witch and a wizard.  As I  said, half-bloods are an unknown 
quality--and yeah, the  classifications are awfully arbitrary.  But I 
suspect the SH 'knows', or can't, put a child with two non-magical 
parents into Slytherin.<

Slytherin had, as Dumbledore noted, a certain disregard for 
rules -- why not his own?  Flexibility could turn out to be Slytherin 
House's saving grace.
