There was some who insinuated that Heydrich was part Jewish. But it’s true, there were few tears shed when Heydrich was killed, other than by Hitler, who loved the guy, and made sure no one, even Himmler could do anything to him.

I've heard that rumor about Heydrich having a Jewish grandfather but I don't know how true it was. It wasn't uncommon in Nazi Germany to try and blemish someones career with insinuation about possible Jewish ancestry or accusations of homosexuality. I don't recall Hitler being fond of Heydrich though. You might be thinking of one of his original body guards, a guy by the name of Bruno Gescher. Heydrich was from an aristocratic German family. He was well educated and cultured. Hitler tended to despise these ‘’bourgeois’’ types because they reminded him of his lowly beginnings. Hitler was more at ease with lower class, rough around the edges types like Geschner.
