Hi, all!  Am sending this on behalf of Iggy, who's having a few 
computer problems at the moment, as he says below.

Iggy here:

I haven't been able to sound off on the list much lately
 due in part 
because of my current class and watching my daughter both taking up a 
significant amount of my mental energy, and massive problems with my 
computer.  (Gateway is sending me a replacement chassis for my 
laptop.)


I was thinking earlier today about JKR's penchant for names that 
sound like other words.  "Diagon Alley" sounding like "diagonally" 
(and actually going off at an angle from Charing Cross 
Road), "Knockturn Alley" being  "nocturnally" and being shrouded in 
shadows.

Well, carrying this off into the theory that there is a "good 
Slytherin", I think I have deciphered who it would be:  Theodore Nott.

His name actually works in two different directions, which (if the 
overlying theories of the "good Slytherin" and the rhyming names 
having significance are correct) is too solid for me not to think 
it's him.

First off, his last name (as someone else who's name escapes me ATM 
theorized) sounds like "not", meaning that he's "not" an evil 
Slytherin.

Second off, the houses are supposed to come together and be unified 
(or "bound" together, if you will) in order to survive the coming 
storm.  I think that Nott will be the "knot" that will tie, or bind, 
the Houses together somehow.  This may be either in transferring to 
another House, or simply turning against the standard Slytherin form 
of behavior and actually making friends with some members of the DA, 
the Significant Six (as I will dub those who were in the Ministry 
mission), or other members of households other than their own.

Any opinions about this theory?
