I agree I would like the Good slytherin to be in Harry generation, 
more so, in Harry's year. I am rooting for Blaise Zabini, not 
because of his name. Its the fact the we don't know anything about 
Zabini, (s)he's a perfect clean slate, we don't even know if
(s)he goes to the bathroom sitting or standing. Theo Nott on the 
other hand has a lot of barriers that Harry has to get past. I can 
see Theo walking up to Harry, and Harry saying "yeah, your dad's the 
lousy death eater right?" Harry has this stereotype against 
slytherins, and He is also extremely stubborn. Harry would write-off 
Theo (if he hasn't already) as a Evil slytherin before the first 
Hello, that is Harry's way of thinking, its either black or white, 
good or death eater. Yes
 it would be more complicating,
therefore more entertaining to read, but IMO it would be completely 
out of character for Harry to "see the light" and become best 
friends with a DE's son. I do believe that JKR has more in store for 
Theo, but if JKR makes him the good Slytherin IMO she might as well 
have Harry and Draco, with out stretched arms, running through a 
field of golden Yellow sunflowers towards each other. (Great! now I 
won't ever get that image from head)Theo could be the most gracious, 
pleasant, who always helps old lady's cross the street, person in 
the world I just don't see Harry becoming his friend.

Who has lots of time on her hands since her evil plan to dominate 
the world was thwarted, by a couple of seventeen year old kids... 
Darn those meddlin' teenagers
