Not a bit we have seen on any of the trailers so far either.

It's really interesting to compare the Slytherin Common Room to 
Gryffindor's.  A very large effort has been made to make the 
Gryffindor Common Room as inviting as possible.  The camera angle is 
nearly always towards the fire (in PS/SS)  There is lots of red and 
gold which makes it appear to be a comfy sitting room.  The 
Slytherin Room, on the other hand, reminds me nearly perfectly of an 
exclusive men's club, where expensive cigars and brandy are 
regularly consumed and the conversation centers around deadly boring 
stuffy topics.  The camera angle takes in the high ceilings which 
make it seem cavernous.  Definately NOT the place to enjoy having 
tea.
