Talk:Fleamont family

Pure-blood
So we know James Potter I (Harry's father) is pure-blood - stated clearly in the books. By Rowling's comparison between Death Eater's logic and the Nazi's, the working definition is that your family back to grandparents must be pure-blood to be considered pure-blooded. So that means that Fleamont & Euphemia Potter (James' parents) and Henry Potter (James's grandfather) must be pure-blooded by definition.

What about Mrs. Potter nee Fleamont (Henry's mother, James' great-grandmother)? Her blood status is not required to be pure-blood for James to be, but would have to be pure-blooded for Henry to be pure-blooded? But by this logic, all ancestors of a pure-blood would have to be pure-blooded for the chain to not be broken, but we have hints that this is not the case as the Potters occasionally married Muggles, but were still pure-blooded (or at least some branches of the family was).

Thoughts on how to resolve? --Ironyak1 (talk) 18:22, May 4, 2017 (UTC)
