I think Luna represents the start of a new era at Hogwarts where 
they all will join in and work together. She has the intelligence 
and reason to know this is the right thing to do. I expect the 
Hufflepuffs to join in next because they are loyal to the school and 
see the fairness and justice of it all with freedom for everyone and 
Slythern to be the last because they want to save their skins in the 
end.
