 K, this is how I see it, mudbloods are pure-muggle borns, half bloods are some one with one wizard parent and one muggle parent(some confusin has been caused by Riddle calling Harry and half blood like himself but I think that Riddle was just demining Lily and/or Harry) and a pureblood is someone who has come from a LONG wizarding family.  I think those that think that being a pureblood is so good that they call wizards/witches halfbloods if they don't come from a long line even if their parents were both magical like Harry's parents.  Because some have this high view of pruebloods Hagrid was meaning that you don't have to come from a long wizarding line to be a powerful and good wizard/witch.
