Ahhh, but this is were it gets tricky. What Harry is depends
on the individual, and what the individual's definitions are.

Harry is the result of two magical parents; which means he
is a fully (blood-wise) magical being.

But since he can't trace both side of his family back through
several generations of magical beings, 'Pure-Bloods' don't 
consider Harry one of them. They see him as a half-blood
even though that is not technically correct.

For Harry to be a true half-blood, he would have to be the
product of a muggle (NOT muggleborn) and a magical being; 
half-muggle, half-magical.

I would say Harry is a Full-Blood, but not a Pure-Blood.
Others would say he is a half-blood. Some might take 'full-
blood' and say that is the same as 'Pure-Blood' , others will
not.

I also get so confused when I heard Bellatrix (in the movie) called Harry half-blood. I always consider Harry as pure-blood (because JKR only mentioned the 3 categories: pure, half, and mud-blood). Does the word 'HALF' means 'TWO EQUAL PARTS THAT COMPOSE SOMETHING'?

Mr. Granger: Muggle
Mrs. Granger: Muggle
Hermione:----------------Mud-blood (sorry, Hermione...don't mean to insult you...)

Tom Riddle Sr: Muggle
Merope Gaunt: Witch
Voldie Moldy:------------Half-blood

Tobey Snape: Muggle
Eileen Prince: Witch
Severus Snape:-----------Half-blood

Mr. Evans: Muggle
Mrs. Evans: Muggle
Lily Evans:---------------Mud-blood

Arthur Weasley: Wizard
Molly Weasley: Witch
Ronald Weasley:----------Pure-blood

James Potter: Wizard
Lily Evans: Witch
So Harry should be--------Pure-blood (because his parents are both wizard, right? ok. Unless JKR considers half-blood as all magical people whose magical parents' blood have been 'contaminated' along the way by 'muggle-blood'????  But doesn't half mean fifty-fifty? LOL)
