I just was thinking, Malfoy did try to befriend him on that first day, and he always called Hermione a "mudblood" but didn't say anything about Harry, but no doubt he knows Harry's lineage somewhat...Also, since James was pureblood and they've got limited selection, do you reckon Harry is related to the Malfoys in some way, like Sirius was?

In book 5 when DD talks about the prophecy (OOtP page 842):
"And notice this Harry. He chose, not the pureblood (which according to his creed is the only kind of wizard worth being or knowing), but the half-blood like himself. He saw himself in you before he had ever seen you."
So DD has refered to Harry as a half-blood. I guess that is somewhere between being muggle-born and pureblood.
