It seems to me that ALL Slytherins can't be bad. JKR has continually
reinforced this biased picture but it doesn't hold with the rest of
the world she's created. Maybe she's only setting us up for a big
suprise. Perhaps pulling a Mad Eye Moody on us (meaning that won't
see it coming).
I also don't think that Draco is all bad. I'm not saying that he'll
turn out either way though. (I don't know at this point!) The truth
is that I don't think ANYONE is all evil (or good for that matter-
harkening back to Neil's Dumbledore thread), but opinon is about real
life. In JKR's universe Voldemort at least may be all bad, even
though he has only become that way over time.
