Del replies:
LV is a half-blood who believes in the purity of blood. In fact, it
would make some poetic sense that Salazar Slytherin's rightful heir be
a half-blood like Old Salazar himself.

Del replies:
There's one easy explanation that has been shadowed by other cases in
the HP books:
- IIRC Seamus's father wasn't too happy to learn that his wife was a
witch.
- According to LV, his father left his mother when he learned she was
a witch.

So could it be that Salazar's Muggle parent betrayed his magical
parent, who maybe got killed as a result?

It sure would explain why Salazar wanted to teach only purebloods :
because this way there was no risk of a Muggle parent betraying the
wizard community.
