Nice Slytherins??  I hope so!  Or else what will become of Hogwarts?!
I have a prediction for book 6 or 7 that will probably not come 
true... as the majority of my book 5 predictions were, er...quite off 
in hindsight.  When Hagrid was giving his lesson on thestrals, only 
four students admitted that they could see the thestrals.  Harry, 
Neville, Luna and an unnamed Slytherin boy.  I feel that this kid, 
who I think might have a heightened sensibility after witnessing a 
death, could be a positive link to the Slytherin house.  Maybe the 
death he saw was very tragic for him & he may want to join Harry's DA 
group?  I really think there will eventually be an amiable Slytherin 
or two before the end of the series.  Maybe Snape will eventually 
help bring about a reconciliation?  I think the future of Hogwarts 
depends on the unity of the four houses... to me the sorting hat's 
song in book 5 is the biggest indicator.
