Hi  all,

I am a newcomer here.... been searching in the wrong places I  think, to 
discuss HP!! Should have joined up here long  back....

Anyways, I do not know if this point has been discussed before  (if so, 
would somebody direct me to those posts?) -- but I have been  wondering 
for a very long time as to why HP is said to be half-blood!!! He  is not 
a half-blood ... just because his mom is a muggle-born, does not  make him 
half-blood.... 
both HIS parents are magic .. so he is a pure  blood! 
Whereas LV's father was a muggle, so LV is half-blood!!  no?

bye for now, 
scam.

The problem is that there should be a third term for  describing lineage and 
there just isn't.  To be a pure blood, no  one in the blood line can be of 
Muggle heritage.  Once anyone has married  a Muggle, it is impossible to be pure 
blood again.  The term half  blood doesn't properly apply especially when the 
muggle could be generations  back, but that is what any one not 100% wizard 
blood is refered to as  being.
