Fenella Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I was thinking about this for years now and I didn't find an answer. Maybe someone in this forum will have one. We all now that in Harry Potter an Half-Blood has an muggle and a witch/wizard as parents. Voldemort = muggle + witchSnape = muggle + witch What about Harry?His parents are both were magical. We all know that Lily has muggle parents but she is a witch and James Potter also a wizard. So I don't understand why all people say that Harry is a Half-Blood like Snape and Voldemort. Maybe he is 1/4 a muggle and 3/4 a wizard. I hope it isn't that confusing. Link to post Share on other sites
Arie Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I think when that's said about Harry its just to show that he doesn't come from a long line of wizards. Like the weasley's or malfoys. I think its just to draw attention to that fact. But, he isn't a halfblood or a pure blood exactly either. You are correct... he is a part both. So, I guess maybe if you even have a part of muggle blood your considered a half blood? Link to post Share on other sites
Jade Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Yeah I agree with Arie. It's how I've always seen it myself. Link to post Share on other sites

So, I guess maybe if you even have a part of muggle blood your considered a half blood?You brought up a very good point, and it makes me think that maybe one of the themes of the movies/books may be "Greatness doesn't have to come from a long line of it."
