But what about the fact that the Sorting Hat told Harry he could be great in
Slytherin?  That part always makes me so curious to know how things could
have been different if Harry *had* been put in Slytherin instead of
Gryffindor.  Of course Harry does get time to worry about it in CoS...but I
just always think it would be neat for the series to be written with Harry
going into Slytherin (even in JKR didn't write it...since she already has
her hands full with writing her vision).
