True, Darrin. I think it is a given that other teachers treat 
Slytherins professionally.

The only example which I can think of to the contrary is the infamous 
Dumbledore's giving out points in PS/SS, but I firmly maintain that 
the only thing which Dumbledore's probably done wrong - was not 
giving out points earlier to save Slyhts from pugblic embarrasement.



Trio deserved those points. They faced Voldie and won (albeit 
temporarily). They faced the challenges to get to the Stone and they 
did eventually.
