"Geoff:

"'You think I was going to use my filthy Muggle father's name for
ever? I, in whose veins runs the blood of Salazar Slytherin himself,
through my mother's side? I, keep the name of a foul, common, Muggle
who abandoned me even before I was born, just because he found out
his /wife/ was a witch? (my emphasis)'"

Gina:
   I think the key factor here is "whom" his mother was. My bet is that she
