(which we are, but only sort of) if JKR doesn't give us anyone but 
Snape out of Slytherin house who isn't evil to the bone by the end of 
book seven the loud thump you hear will be me throwing my book across 
the room in disgust. She has a strong anti-prejudice theme, she has a 
strong theme of choice and individuality (Harry, Dobby etc) and yet 
she seems to be telling us you can write off 25% of the wizarding 
world's children at the age of 11! 


Mandy here:
Hear hear!  I'm eagerly looking forward to some other ex-Slytherin to 
show some other characteristic than evil.  

The obvious prejudice against Slytherin House has bothered me from 
the start.  What we have seen of the house, and all it's members, has 
been so narrow, one-dimensional and sticks out like a sore thumb from 
the rest of the WW JKR has created.

I'm crossing my fingers for one of the ex-Slytherins to turn out to 
be a spy for DD and the Order.  There has to be another Order spy 
aside from Snape in the story somewhere.  But we know so little about 
them it's hard to guess who that could be.

Mandy, placing my bets on Narcissa Black Malfoy.
