Forum:Blood-Traitors

A thought about the concept of "Blood-Traitor" has been troubling me a bit lately. Death Eaters and Slytherins would often refer to Ron and his siblings and family as Blood traitors, but isn't that a bit wrong? I mean, if you look at the difference between Arthur Weasley and Bellatrix Lestrange it seems so. The former gets called a Blood-traitor because of the non-pureblood marriages that have occured in his family, even though he married the Pure-blood Molly Prewett. Bella, however, does not get called a Blood-traitor, even though her sister Andromeda Tonks married a Muggle Born (Ted). Any thoughts as to why? I know most people seem scared of Bella but it still seems strange. If you think about it, Draco and Ron are in the same situations but only Ronis called a Blood-traitor (they both have aunts who didn't marry Pure-bloods). -- Margiechocoholic  Owl me!undefined 08:44, September 11, 2009 (UTC)
