I think it would be interesting to meet a Slytherin that you could count on,
utterly.  I just don't like the idea of all the Slytherins being nasty.
Seems too simplistic, and I don't think Rowling's a simplistic writer.  And
really, if all the Slytherins HAVE to be nasty and evil, would Dumbledore
let the Slytherin house continue?  Would parents be willing to keep sending
their kids there? (Other than the Deatheaters, of course).

Who holds out hope for some nobility in the Slytherins, somewhere (even
Draco).
