A question about Slytherin House: it's the haunt of budding dark
wizards, the Hat tells Harry that "Slytherin will help [him] on the
way to greatness" and it's Tom Riddle's house.  But many of the
people that we know are part of Slytherin are not exactly top rank
wizard material: Crabbe, Goyle, Flint, Millicent Bustrode (the female
wrestler), Pansy Parkinson of the pug nose.  

With the exception of Riddle himself and for the sake of argument
Malfoy pere et fils, where are the impressive Slytherin alumni?
