Magpie:
I was completely confused by what you said here and then went back and read what I wrote and...was completely confused by why I wrote 'by some.' Everyone considers Harry a Half Blood, you're completely right. I think in my head what I meant was that some people would consider Muggle-borns like Lily a Muggle. But I accidentally said "by some" referring to Harry being a Half-Blood.
