All the Slyths we've met so far are proponents of the mudblood 
doctrine. 

Like I said, the answer to my statements on this matter have always 
been, "well, well, there HAS to be one, gosh darned it!"

No, there doesn't. 

This isn't the real world. It is entirely possible that there is 
something in the Slytherin water that creates this little bastards. 

Rather than continually gripe at JKR for perpetuating "the 
stereotype" of the Slytherin, perhaps it's now to the point to start 
looking at why someone who creates rich, well-drawn characters, has 
chosen to do so.
