Loyalty. Gellert Prometheus Grindelwald (b. January 11, 1870) is a half-blood wizard and former student of Durmastrang Institute of Magic. He attended between 1880-1889 but was expelled one year before graduation for conduct unbecoming of students.
Gellert Grindelwald (1883-1998) was considered to be one of the most powerful Dark Wizards of all time, second only to Tom Marvolo Riddle, who later became known as Lord Voldemort. He was schooled at Durmstrang Institute until his expulsion.
An interesting fact of note is that despite the ideals that pure-bloods are inherently more powerful wizards, some of the most powerful or particularly adept wizards and witches in the series are in fact either half-blood (such as Lord Voldemort, Albus Dumbledore, Minerva McGonagall, Severus Snape and Harry Potter) or ...
As Grindelwald addressed people, it did become obvious that he truly believed that he could improve the world for everyone, not just wizards. He saw muggles in a lesser light, but did not hate them.
Nobody knows, the popular answer is no, because nearly all Parselmouths are related of Salazar slytherin, and grindelwald clearly is not, he is never stated to related anyhow to the gaunt, the last decedent of Salazar slytherin.

Did Harry lose his Parseltongue?
After Lord Voldemort destroyed the fragment of his soul residing in Harry, Harry seemingly lost the ability to speak Parseltongue, about which he was glad and relieved. Over the next twenty-two years, he never attempted to speak the language, presuming that it had died with Voldemort.
Why didn't Grindelwald tell Voldemort where the Elder Wand was?
What made things interesting was that Grindelwald had refused to tell Voldemort where the Elder Wand was. He knew that Dumbledore was the current owner and he probably worked out that it remained with Dumbledore in his tomb.
It was in Godric's Hollow in the summer of 1899 that Grindelwald met and befriended Albus Dumbledore. The two teenagers had a lot in common: they were intellectuals and talented young wizards, who were also idealistic and ambitious. The pair even became lovers during the two months that they knew one another.
Grindelwald stated that he didn't hate those that didn't use magic. Instead, he felt their lust for power made them a dangerous threat to his kind, and his premonitions proved it.
Harry is a half-blood because his mother was born to a Muggle family while his father was born to a Wizarding couple. It doesn't matter what social standing someone manages to achieve or inherit to those who made the definition. Tonks is a halfblood despite being descended from the Black family on her mother's side.
The pure-blood wizards and witches featured in the Harry Potter books are almost all supremacists, while there are some of them who do not advocate ancestral superiority; the Potters, Weasleys, and Longbottoms are old pure-blood families, but no known members of these families are sympathetic to supremacist aims.
Also, James Potter was a pure-blood. One possible theory indicates that the author of the Directory considered the Potters and other "pure-blood" families (such as the Princes, the Crabbes, the Goyles, the Moodys, and the Browns) to have some amount of Muggle ancestry.
In the end, Voldemort kills Grindelwald via Avada Kedavra after deciding he doesn't need Grindelwald alive anymore. The movie however, took a very different approach. After getting inside Grindelwald's cell, Grindelwald straight up tells Voldemort that the Elder Wand was buried with Dumbledore.
Gellert Grindelwald was a dark wizard born in Bulgaria in 1882 or 1883 (the exact date has been unrevealed). Grindelwald isn't directly related to Tom Marvolo Riddle, born in December 31st, 1926, in England. Due to their different nationalities, it's obvious Voldemort and Grindelwald aren't related.
Believing that wizard kind was oppressed by the non-magical, Grindelwald sought to establish a new world order in which Witches and Wizards ruled over Muggles, claiming that his actions were "for the greater good." Over time, he managed to amass a following that would serve as advisors and enforcers of his cause.
Dumbledore never married, but had romantic feelings towards his childhood-friend-turned-enemy - Gellert Grindelwald. The two were inseparable for a bit of time, but sadly Grindelwald turned to the dark side, and Dumbledore had no choice but to take the one he loved down. He never pursued another after that.
One of the most famous revelations about Dumbledore after the books were published was that he was actually in love with Gellert Grindelwald. J.K. Rowling said: 'Dumbledore fell in love with Grindelwald, and that added to his horror when Grindelwald showed himself to be what he was…
Newt's contributions to Magizoology earned him the Order of Merlin, Second Class, and was also honored with his very own Chocolate Frog Card. He retired in the early 1990s and lived in Dorset with Tina and their pet Kneazles: Hoppy, Milly, and Mauler.
He was tortured by Lord Voldemort for information regarding the twin cores of Harry Potter's wand and his own. Ollivander told him that he merely needed to use a wand other than his own to face Harry Potter.
However in Part 2's Gringotts lobby scene, Hermione-impersonated Bellatrix refuses to show her wand as ID. In the movie Griphook can be heard whispering "They know. They know she's an impostor. They've been warned", so obviously the request for the wand was unexpected even to him.
Harry is the Heir of Gryffindor (though his powers have been bound by his father when he was a baby), Neville is the Heir of Hufflepuff, Meghan (OFC, daughter of Sirius) is the Heir of Ravenclaw.
Mason Riddle is the Son of Tom Marvalo Riddle, otherwise known as Lord Voldemort, and the only American student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
He was eventually forced to accept that his father was the Muggle parent, and that his mother was the magical one. It was around this time that Riddle gave himself the alias "Lord Voldemort", to spare himself of the reminder of his "filthy Muggle father".
