kchuplis:

I have wondered since OoTP how many DEs really knew LV was a half- 
blood since Bella gets sooooooooo enraged when Harry says "did he  
ever tell you he was a dirty half-blood".  (sic - sorry, no book  
nearby - quel horreur) I seriously think she thought Harry was lying  
and defaming. I mean, he really did believe for a long time his  
father must have been some really important wizard (until he could  
never find the name anywhere). Who knows what lies he told everyone  
else.
