Hitstory
The Greengrasses are known to have espoused the philosophy of Pure-blood supremacy,[2] even though, following the horrors of the Second Wizarding War, Astoria Greengrass abandoned those beliefs in favour of a more tolerant world view and even refused to raise her son to believe that "Muggles [are] scum" even though that created tension with her parents-in-law, Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy.[2]
Recent family members

- Daphne Greengrass - Astoria's older sister, she was in Harry Potter's year and Slytherin house at Hogwarts, and was one of Pansy Parkinson's gang.
Etymology
