I get the idea, from the series, that Slytherin and the Death Eaters 
don't realy like girls:

1)  Lucius Malfoy mentions that "a girl of no wizard family" beast 
Draco's grades[CS]. Is the word girl important in that sentence, or 
is it just because Lucius doesn't want to mention the name of 
that "mudblood"? I think the first.

2)  There are no girls on the Slytherin Quiddich team [PA]

3)  I've counted over 20 male DEs, and only 1 female:
    9 male in Azkaban
    2 male DE's mentioned by Karkaroff who weren't in Azkaban (Snape 
is one of those)
    7 DE's who are present at Voldemort's first speech (including 
Wormtail)
    Karkaroff
    Barty Crouch Jr.
    Regulus Black

The only female DE mentioned in the series, so far, is Belatrix 
Lestrange. Does this represent that Slytherin/DE profile considers 
women to be less then men?
