Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

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.
