Samaritan Half-Bloods

Today in Sunday School the lesson discussed the Good Samaritan parable. Then someone compared Jews and Samaritans to pure bloods and half-bloods.

Because people would better understand that reference and reasoning than they would the of-the-time context in which the Good Samaritan parable was a slap in the face to the Jewish people.

I thought it. Then someone else--a 60-something man, by the way--said it out loud. Almost like I used the Imperious Curse...

Do you think J.K. Rowling would be amazed to find that Harry Potter was the son of a Samaritan?
