To be honest, I haven't followed the entire thread.  But I've often 
wondered if JKR had made the houses such stereotyes on purpose, or if 
she was planning something.  I think the latter. I'm re-reading PoA 
now and I noticed in very small ways she undercuts the stereotypes.  
When Harry first meets the hypogryff, everyone applauds except for 
Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle.

I would like to see some tension in Slytherin between the DE kids and 
the "good" kids.  I think Theo Nott will turn out to be important.  
And I noticed he sounded like Snape too.
