Upon rereading OotP (Spoilers)

vivienTwo little things I keep wondering about:
The Pensieve - Snape is using Dumbledore's. Does this mean that the Pensieve is a rare thing, something too powerful or too expensive for just anyone to have? In fanon, they pop up frequently, but I'm thinking now that they are more rare.
Also, blood status. Mudblood is easy, but what are the other designations in canon. Pure blood - is that lineage with no Muggle at all, or merely a child born from a witch and a wizard. If so, then Harry would be pure blood, even with 1/4 Muggle blood. Because that example of pure blood would be way different than the Malfoy version.
One final thing - I never would ever want to get on Hermione's bad side. She's kinda ruthless, no?
I really enjoyed it more totally on this latest, slow reread. I appreciated a lot of the little things more this time.
Oh, by the way, as of Wednesday I'll be in the Land of Slow Mom Computers, and my AOL is being very difficult, so I might not be posting much from now on (I'm at the library, hence the posting - AOL keeps freezing by giving me this white screen of stillness whenver I try to link to any websites. I will be calling today with much grumpiness in my voice, cos I've been having this problem a few days now). Anyhoo, back out into the scorching heat.
