True, Pippin. Redemption themes I love, that is why I am still 
capable to root for Snape, no matter how many times I wanted to 
strangle him in OOP. :)


The problem with other Slytherins that as far as we know they have 
not done anything goood either, therefore FOR ME there is not much 
point to root for them either.
