Snow:

Yes, but Tom Riddle alias  Lord Voldemort has one magical parent and 
one "totally" non magical  parent...what do you call him?

I call him  wanting!

Well, I defiantly wouldn't consider him pure blood that's for sure!  I  think 
the WW
kinda looks at pure/half/mud (excuse my language) blood in pretty  basic 
terms.
You are pure blood if your family can be traced back several  generations
being all magical.(much in the way that animals are considered  pedigree)  
Mudblood
(excuse me again) is coming out of a purely Muggle line of ancestors (at  
lest for 
a few generations).  And it seems to me that Half blood is anything in  
between.  
Harry is considered half, but is actually more like 75% or something like  
that since
his Mom though she was muggle born was a witch.  
 
Taking this into account (if you agree with my reasoning of course) I could  
see how
some one could think of themselves as "pure blood" but actually discover  
that some
where along the line they had a muggle or muggle born in the family.   There 
fore 
making them half blood instead of pure.  
 
Any thoughts?
