Other more fanatical families such as the Gaunts, Lestranges, and Blacks required all marriages to be those of pure-blood. In spite of this, this never deterred "respect" from families such as the Blacks, Gaunt and the Lestranges against the Malfoys. ![]() As such, some families such as the Malfoys allowed them to marry into their pure-blood family and could do so without affecting their family's pure-blood status. It could be argued that half-bloods in the eyes of those who believed in blood purity bridged the gap between "respectable" and inferior. Those who believed in the importance of blood purity considered half-bloods to be inferior because of their Muggle heritage, though superior to Muggle-borns. Harry Potter and his children are half-bloods with known Muggle ancestry He dared - he dares - he stands there - filthy half-blood - " - Prejudice against Harry Potter's half-blood status " You dare speak his name with your unworthy lips, you dare besmirch it with your half-blood's tongue, you dare. Magical children born to a Muggle-born and a Muggle are also considered half-bloods, such as Penny and Beatrice Haywood. Because of their Muggle parentage, many end up assimilating into the Muggle population as they would have more trouble thriving within the magical community. Examples include Martha Steward II, Dolores Umbridge's brother, and Gilderoy Lockhart's two sisters. ![]() Non-magical children born with at least one magical parent were considered Squibs by the wizarding community rather than Half-bloods or Muggles. It should be noted that any wizard or witch who was neither pure-blood nor Muggle-born was considered half-blood, even if they had two magical parents they need not have had exactly half-Muggle/half-wizard heritage.
