Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone

So if you have muggle born or muggle as even one grandparent, you’re half blood. Two muggleborns make a muggleborn.

Muggle-born Slytherins exist, but are very rare, as noted insultingly by Scabior the Snatcher. There have also been definite examples of half-bloods sorted into the house, including Tom Riddle, Dolores Umbridge, and Severus Snape. Also, pure-bloods are not automatically placed in Slytherin.

However, the Muggle and magical worlds are tied together in some ways. For instance, Muggles sometimes marry wizards or witches and thus become aware of the wizarding world, as occurred with Mr Finnigan when he married a witch. Muggles also occasionally produce a magical child.

Wizards avoid muggles because of the History of hate by Muggles. We know that many witches and wizards were burnt. With a wand, they could convert the fire into something bearable, but it didn’t always happen.
