In his final year, he was part of the revived D.A., meaning he was allowed access to Hogwarts whilst under the regime of Severus Snape, indicating him to be of half or pure blood.

[edit] Notes and references
- ↑ In Deathly Hallows, Ch. 39, Anthony was hiding out in the Room of Requirement with Dumbledore's Army before the members Neville summoned from outside the school began to arrive. This means he attended Hogwarts during the 1997-1998 school year, and must have been either half-blood or pure-blood, as Muggle-borns were banned from the school under the Voldemort regime. His blood status is given as half-blood on the student list shown by J. K. Rowling on Harry Potter and Me.

- ↑ Despite this character not actually being identified in the film, they were sorted in 1991 and therefore were present in the films adaption of the sorting amongst the crowd of first years, as they had to be sorted and even though they weren't mentioned they'd still be one of the students in that crowd.
