1) We aren't 100.00 percent sure V-Mort was a Slyth.

2) Even if he was, we're talking about a kid directly descended from 
Salazar AND who had rejected all things Muggle. Sounds close enough 
to pureblood for government work.

3) Until the good Slyths are written in canon, they don't exist. 
There is no requirement that they have to exist. Again, the argument 
always seems to come back to, "but, they HAVE to exist."

And I say: Says who?

For evil to flourish, all that has to happen is for good men and 
women to stay silent.

So, let the mythical "good" Slyths stay in their little turtle shells 
and watch Draco and his ilk take over the house. 

Just don't expect me to call them good.
