But that's not the way it is in canon. It works the opposite way. As 
long as you've got Wizard blood you're a Wizard. You're not in the 
elite that is "Pureblood" according to certain Slytherins, but you're 
not a Muggle. 

(Though I kind of hate that it comes down to "imagine the way it 
works under Jim Crow and under the Nazis--which are different from 
each other and different from the situation in the WW--and fill it in 
yourself.)

Tiffany:

I meant to use the Jim Crow laws with respect to the elite definition 
of "Pureblood" by certain Slytherins at Hogwarts.  I know that if 
you've got Wizard blood then you're a Wizard in the WW & Potterverse.
