There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Interesting.
Rowling wrote;
Therefore Harry would be considered only 'half' wizard, because of his mother's grandparents.
To which the person managing the site commented:
In this FAQ entry, J.K. is stating, for the first time, that Harry's mother's grandparents were Muggles.[...] By telling us that the Muggle-blood in Harry comes from his great-grandparents, she seems to saying that both of Harry's grandparents, his Mother's parents, were Wizards.
Alternately -- and given that this is Rowling, I don't think this is unlikely -- "his mother's grandparents" could be a mistake for "his grandparents on his mother's side." To me, that fits better with the book's canon. But I tend to speed-read HP, so I may be missing something that fits better with the website maintainer's interpretation.

The interesting thing is that the Wizardnews folks mentioned the whole Dudley could be considered a half-blood thing.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I saw it the way you did, Lyra.
Though a wizard Dudley is amusing...

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
Sits with Jilli and Aimee on Petunia being a squib. Stands alone in the "Draco is the Half-Blood Prince, being that the bits cut out of CoS relate to some skeletons in the Malfoys 'pureblood' closet which were originally concieved to pull together a theme of hypocrisy and tolerance and moved to a later book for a better reveal" corner.
