[HPforGrownups] OotP: Hogwarts under Umbridge

Cat:
Hogwarts is strong - a sign of DD's leadership - since despite trying 
to turn it on itself, by appointing Slytherins above others, Umbridge 
ends up uniting 3 of 4 houses.  I am interested to see if Slytherin
is bought into the fold some how or perhaps it does have to leave 
Hogwarts in the end.

Dan:
I absolutely agree--Umbridge was, shockingly, good for the school. Even though she was a hideous person, her character was fabulous and was, as you said, a unifying force, in spite of her, well, ickiness.

As for the Slytherins, they *must* unite with the rest of the school. I've always believed that there are good Slytherins (ones who aren't part of the Young Death Eaters Club); Slytherins who are being cautious and not standing up against the children of the Death Eaters. I am sure we will, eventually, see a Slytherin student who secretly goes to Harry and whispers, "Potter, I'm with you."

*crosses fingers*
