Neri:
Here is a telling bit from the glossary:

Trueblood: Someone born to pure magical parents. Also called pure-blood.

I could not find the word "trueblood" anywhere in the books. Does
anybody remember it ever appearing? Perhaps in QTtA or FBaWtFT?

However, it seems that Lexicon Steve does know about the glossary,
since the word "trueblood" appears in the index of the Lexicon:

http://www.hp-lexicon.org/index/master-index-t.html

but nowhere else in the Lexicon. If the glossary is the only origin of
this word, it means that it was indeed written by JKR, or else (very
ulikely) someone in Bloomsbury exercising his/her creativity.
Interpreting Occlumency or Metamorphmagi a bit beyond the canon is not
unheard of <g> but inventing new words is a no-no.
