Maybe THE Good Slytherin is being taken a little too literally. 

Here is my idea of how the houses will unite and how we will find the
Good Slytherin.

I think the uniting of the house will occur around the continuing DA
Club; I've said this many time before, but even if I am wrong, it
still servers as a good illustration.

In order for the DA Club to continue, I now propose that it must
either be reduced to a Gryffindor Club, or expanded to a
school-wide/all houses club. I believe Harry will choose the 'all
houses' option, although, he will very reluctantly allow Slytherins
into the club.

Naturally, Draco and his immediate group of friends will cause trouble
because that's what they do. However, since it's his club, Harry will
have the right to throw them out. So Draco and his immediate friends
will leave. But, several Slytherins will continue with the club
because they believe being able to defend themselves is more important
than kissing Draco's butt. Plus, there is also the possibility that
they are having fun and making friends.

Chief amoung those who stay will be one outstanding level-headed
trustworthy Slytherin; he will be THE Good Slytherin, the one who
changes Harry's mind about Slytherins in general. The other Slytherins
who stay with the club won't be THE Good Slytherin, they wiil be just
plain good Slytherins.

So, 'The Good Slytherin' theory doesn't profess that there will be one
and only one good Slytherin, but that among the good Slytherin will be
one outstanding Slytherin.

Conclusion, T. Knot and Blaise Zabini could both become good
Slytherins, but my money is mostly on Blaise as being THE Good Slytherin. 

Finally, even if my DA Club idea doesn't play out exactly the way I
described, it still servers as a good illustration of how the houses
can become united, there can be more that one good Slytherin, and at
the same time, there can be THE Good Slytherin.

Just a thought.
