The pressure on the Slytherins in particular will become nearly unbearable . . . will we see the day when the Slytherins will decide to leave the school for good, just like old Slytherin did ? And what effects would it have on the remaining students ?

Eustace_Scrubb: I suspect that _some_ Slytherins may leave Hogwarts.  But for this to parallel the departure of Salazar from the other three founders,wouldn't it mean that _all_ Slytherin students would have to leave and
indeed that Slytherin House would cease to exist? 

owlery2003 comments: We don't really see the "Fred & George" equivalent in Slytherin House, and I think if there's any exodus, it will be generated by parents. There are several possibilities, too, each applicable to those parents who are pro or con to LV: (1)those who feel their children are safer at home; (2)those who feel their children are safer at school. DD could be viewed as a safety factor or a danger magnet. In either case, Hogwarts becomes a front line bastion against LV, which houses DD and HP, two key figures in the anti-LV chess game. With a formidable "army" of house elves and witches/wizards (not to mention the students and the budding DA), surrounded by the Forbidden Forest and protected against all sorts of magical intrusion, it's unlikely LV will attempt an all-out assault in chapter 1. Perhaps Slytherin House will be the "sleeper cell" 5th column for the LV faction parents to infiltrate . . . perfect for Draco. Can't wait to see how it plays out!
