The character was born to a Muggleborn mother and a Halfblood father. During Voldemort's reign of the Ministry Muggleborns had to register with the Registration Committee or go on the run, so I know his mother would have had to register, but I'm not sure what that would have caused. Would his dad have had consequences for being married to or bearing a child with her? Would the character have had to leave Hogwarts?
Just trying to hash out how that worked.
