Why isn t Harry called a mudblood?

Harry isn't called a "Mudblood" because that derogatory term specifically targets those with both Muggle parents (Muggle-borns, like Hermione), whereas Harry is a Half-Blood; he has one magical parent (James) and one Muggle-born parent (Lily), meaning he has magical ancestry on both sides, even if from a "tainted" line, making him less "dirty" in pure-blood supremacist eyes than someone like Hermione, as Reddit users and Quora contributors explain. While he's still insulted as a half-blood (e.g., "filthy half-blood"), the harsher "Mudblood" label is reserved for those with no magical bloodline at all, a distinction pure-bloods make.
