We do know that two of the most powerful wizards (Harry and Tom Riddle)
were half-bloods, and Snape was also pretty formidable. This doesn't mean
all purebloods were into genetic decline, as Molly Weasley and Lucius
Malfoy seem to have been pretty strong. If fact, ALL the Weasleys seem to
have been pretty competent. Has anyone ever resolved the question of
whether Dumbledore was a pureblood?


ISTR that his mother Kendra was muggle-born (or part-mb) but I can't find
that at the start of DH (in the tribute to Dd nor Rita Skeeter's interview)
so it might be later on. I'll keep an eye out for it, unless anyone else
knows/can do a text search for Kendra?

DH, Ch. 8:

"Dumbledore's mother was a terrifying woman, simply
terrifying. Muggle-born, though I heard she pretended otherwise
-"
"She never pretended anything of the sort! Kendra was a
fine woman," whispered Doge miserably, but Auntie Muriel
ignored him.
