Alla:

Indeed, I  was so glad that in HBP JKR finally called the other 
teacher " master" and yes, I never heard him insisting on being 
called so in class.

"The tiny little Charms master was bobbing his way towards them..."- 
HBP, p.515.

Alla:

OK, since I am providing some additional quotes, I am hoping that I 
am not doing complete " me too" post, Neri. :-)

I think Betsy meant this quote ( sorry, if I am wrong):

"There are no Wizarding princes," said Lupin, now smiling." - HBP, 
p.336

But again, I agree with you Neri - I think "pureblood" does 
equal "nobility" in their minds and I don't remember that being 
disproved.

Alla, who even though will not dismiss LOLLIPOPS completely , would 
definitely try ACID POP
