I think  it's mostly about people's DESIRE to see this happen.  You 
know, that  surely JKR won't have *every* Slytherin be a baddie?  

I am aware  that Nott's father is a DE.  At her website, though, JKR 
spoke a  little about Theo, and she mentioned that Nott is "a clever 
loner who does  not feel the need to join gangs, including Malfoy's."  
This has, I  think, fueled the speculation that with Voldy *openly* 
back and people,  presumably, being forced to make their loyalties 
also more known, some of  the Slytherins might elect to NOT follow 
Draco et al./the DE kids.   

So, again, when Nott appeared in the PoA movie, it made many people  
wonder if he isn't going to be someone to play a bigger part in  
future... perhaps even leaving Draco aside.

Interesting idea -- and I hadn't read that about Nott.  But in  the film, he 
IS in Malfoy's gang.  Cuaron played fast and loose with canon  in many ways.  
Nott isn't set up in canon (so far) as being a "good"  Slytherin, so it will 
be interesting to see if he turns out to be one.  I  know JKR said there were a 
few things Cuaron did that surprised her because they  foreshadowed things 
that hadn't been written yet (I'm not quoting this right,  but hopefully I've 
got the gist of it correct).  Speculation on what those  things might be 
included a possible close friendship between Remus and Lily (I'm  sorry, but when he 
said he recognized Harry because of Harry having Lily's EYES,  when the entire 
rest of the kid's face is his best friend James's????  That  was a weird 
line, IMO, but I suppose they had to lead into the Lily stuff  somehow).  Anyway, 
it will be interesting to see which things were  "prophetic" in the PoA film!
