I get the Halfblood when one parent is magical and the other isn't as in the case of Voldie and Snape, but why is Harry considered a Halfblood? Both his parents are magical despite his mother being muggleborn.  If he's considered Halfblood because of that, then what would you call the child of two 
muggleborns?

Do you have a tapestry?

Does it go back 9 generations?

If you want to argue that you're proper Pureblood, you might have to be able to give a positive response to both questions?
