Potioncat:
I'm glad you liked my little joke (snipped here) I'll get a few 
flames, no doubt!  I'm now in a "I can't wait to see what she does 
with Slytherin" mode.  I can buy the idea that out of a group who 
value ambition too highly, you'd get some wizards who go bad.  And, 
add to that the importance of Pureblood, and you have a double 
whammy. But I'm not comfortable with the idea that every 11 year old 
who gets sorted into that House will go bad.  Or that everyone values 
his/her Pureblood so strongly.  
Lots of fun speculating until then!
