I keep wondering about Tom Riddle, myself. How did the rest of 
slytherin house react to a halfblood boy in their midst? And from 
that, I wonder- are there ever muggleborn children sorted into that 
house? Are halfblood children given a harder time there? I just keep 
thinking what kids like Draco might do to such people- and 
shuddering.
