Don't worry, I don't offend easily.  Even if JKR couldn't come up 
with some logical explanation for this other than, "Oh, it's just 
magic" I was hoping some geneticist Harry Potter fan with too much 
time on his/her hands could cook something up.  And frankly, I'd be 
very surprised if JKR doesn't already have this figured out.  Since a 
large part of the plotline involves "muggle" blood, if she bends 
logic too far, fans are going to be screaming about it later.  
And "it's just magic" is too weak an explanation.  As with 
Dumbledore, I shall continue to have faith in JKR until she proves me 
wrong.
