Harry Potter Question

Half-bloods during the Second War (at Hogwarts)?

Can anyone remember how much in danger half-bloods were during the Second War generally in Britain? (Which would likely apply also the the First War.)

And in the Deathly Hallows year when Hogwarts was run by the Death Eaters, did they accept only purebloods in there or also half-bloods, banning only muggle-borns?

Thank you, bri-marie and LadyNottingham. I think this question has now been solved. ^^

The half-bloods were in danger if they couldn't prove they had wizarding heritage. Like Dean - he was a half-blood, but he couldn't prove his father - whom he'd never met before - was a wizard.

Hogwarts did allow half-bloods when the Death Eaters were running it, as long as they could prove they had wizard blood. Seamus was a half-blood and he attended during that year.

OK. Thanks! How about - do the books state in which ways one could prove being a half-blood? Suppose your prents are dead. Freaky if there'd be no other way but have your parents do magic. o.O Wouldn't Hogwarts have some sort of records of its past students. Any sort of?

Anything in the books about how safe were those who were squibs? Suppose your parents were a muggle and a muggle-born and you turned out a squib? I'd suppose in such case the person would be on the same line as a muggle-born...

Oh, and judging by the fact that Filch was let live and stay at Hogwarts, I guess Voldemort doesn't mind Squibs, and if there's no evidence of a Squib having such muggle-born-ish parentage, I'd guess they'd be safe. And I'd say this question has now been answered with the Ministry records providing proof of half-bloodness. They likely question the blood status only if there's anything unclear.
