Hi, folks.  I'm very, very new here, but I'd like to jump in for a second.
If you remember, Dumbledore tells Harry about some character traits
within himself that Salazar Slytherin himself prized.  I don't think it's a
good idea to tar all Slytherins with the same brush.  Of course, it is
always a little disconcerting to find you have possibly a good deal of
things in common with folks that seem to be inherently evil.
