Because *nowhere* in any of the books is Harry called a Pure
Blood. Not even by Ron's family, even though they are obviously
(and unashamedly) Pure Blood.

Not directly - but if you put together the Sorting Hat's song in Book 5 
(which stated that only purebloods are accepted into Slytherin) and the 
Sorting Hat telling Harry he would do well in Slytherin in Book 1 - then 
that would make Harry a pureblood.

Though I would guess people who can trace their family line back for 
generations with *no* muggle ancestry are considered _more_ pure. And with 
the Blacks, Malfoys and most likely the Potters (pre-Lily, anyway) - I'm 
sure they have higher stanndards then just pure blood. Can you imagine 
Lucious letting Draco marry the cook's daughter?


What I find totally strange and unlikely is that Harry has no wizarding 
grandparents, great-grandparents, great-uncles and the like.  People in the 
wizarding world can live a very long time, and Harry's parents at least were 
quite young when they became parents - so what happened to all the previous 
generations of Potters that should still be alive and healthy?? At the very 
least you'd think Harry would be curious and ask about what happened to 
them.
