So for example: Am D (raised 6th f#) G (natural 7th G) and then go to C (relative major) But this really feels more like a departure of the original A minor tonality. So in this progression, the listener might still doubt what is going on at the D major chord, but when the G major chord follows, we don't appear to be really in A minor anymore, so I would not consider the g there as natural 7th of A minor.

I tend to hear them in 5 families (Major, Minor, Dominant 7th, Half Diminished, Diminished) 3 of those groupings have a b3. Presumably someone thought the half-diminished chord sounded minor since it frequently gets called -7b5 today, but the theorists I respect that have 3 groupings (Maj, min, Dom7) all put the half-dim in the Dominant family. I hear them like this 5 Families of Chord & Scale Qualities
