Susan:
Is it possible for a m$&blood family eventually to become a pureblood 
family?  Ok, James is from a pureblooded family.  Lily comes from a 
muggle family, but she's obviously a wizard.  They have Harry.  Isn't 
he (Harry) technically more "pure" than Lily (bloodwise)?  So if he 
married a pureblood, their child would be even more "pure" wouldn't 
he/she? And if that child grows up and marries a pureblood...  See 
where I'm going?  Where does it end?

My theory:
If you assume that mudblood comes from the idea of the blood being muddied or dirty, then the assumption must also follow that there is no point where the mudblooded becomes pureblooded.  If you think back to your science class and the atom cutting example, no matter how many times you half an object, it still exists, though in increasingly negligible amounts.  For a more tangible example, assuming that Harry and his descendants only marry purebloods, there may be a point where the WW consider his line a pureblood line, but regardless, there is still a tangible point where his line was not pureblooded, thereby making his blood dirty by the standards of the Malfoys of the world.
