I'll make Faerunian references here, but otherwise it's good info.

First reaction? Depends on what color dragon... A silver or gold half-dragon might make an adventurer more inclined to trust, while a red, green, or other chromatic dragon might lead to distrust.

A backstory? A silver dragon fell in love with an elf. As silver dragons often take the form of elves, this is not beyond the realm of plausibility. Or maybe a red dragon took the form of a human and seduced a paladin. The paladin fell from grace and the half-dragon serves as a constant reminder of the paladin's fall.

Status? A half-dragon has the potential to be great... but there are unsavory types (the Zhentarim and Cult of the Dragon come quickly to mind) who might attempt to corrupt or exploit the half-dragon for their power. Others (The church of Tiamat comes to mind) might revere or kill them (depending on what color they are). If they survive assasination or corruption attempts they might become sorcerors (any color), paladins (gold, silver, other metal), blackguards (chromatic), or just about anything else they set their minds to.
