Remind me to introduce you to my husband.....  But that's what I was saying. That the Slytherins have been thus far portrayed as pretty much all bad is a stereotype in its truest form, and I'm expecting it to be ameliorated somewhere along the way. JKR has a good grasp of timing, in that she answers or addresses things just as they begin to stand out to her readers (much like the superb timing of sight gags in Wallace & Gromit, where the viewer is
given just that tiny, necessary beat to realize or comprehend, before the action continues). That we're noticing it means to me that it'll be addressed soon.
