If it says it at all, it would be in Chamber of Secrets after the Basilisk attacks her. Mafalda Hopkirk 04:02, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

I think that the association is made since the Basilisk targets Muggle-borns. Unfortunately, since she was with Hermione at the time (a known Muggle-born), she may have been caught in the crossfire as it were, and not the actual target. - Cavalier One^{(Wizarding Wireless Network)} 14:50, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

I don't believe there is sufficient evidence to include Penelope in Category:Muggle-borns. Yes, she was attacked by the Basilisk, but, as Cav pointed out, she was with Hermione at the time. Of the other Basilisk victims, we know for certain that Justin, Colin, and Myrtle were Muggle-born (Draco refers to Myrtle as a "Mudblood" in CoS12). It's safe to say Mrs. Norris wasn't Muggle-born, and as for Sir Nicholas, we don't have information either way.

We're also given conflicting evidence about Penelope's blood status. In DH, when the Trio are caught by Snatchers, Hermione poses as Penelope and claims to be half-blood. Although Hermione was suddenly thrust into a dangerous situation, and had to think fast, I don't think she'd have made such a huge mistake as claiming to be someone who was Muggle-born. Even if she never found out Penelope's blood status for certain, Hermione would've remembered that Penelope had been Petrified by the Basilisk, and that that meant she could be Muggle-born. I thus think that Hermione was reasonably aware that Penelope was not Muggle-born.

But we don't have solid enough evidence to put Penelope in any of the parentage categories. ★ Starstuff ^{(Owl me!)} 09:10, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

I agree that she should be removed from the Muggle-borns category. There's conflicting evidence, thus she shouldn't be in either category. Oread ^(talk) 02:48, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Where does Penelope <appear in the first game?--Rodolphus 08:10, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

I'm going to remove the first game from the "Appearances" section until it can be confirmed. ★ Starstuff ^{(Owl me!)} 14:17, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
