one assumes that all of the current Slytherins are evil.  We actually
know very little about a good majority of Slytherins, and what we do
know is from the prospective of a 15 year old boy who has in the past
had some horrific run-ins with the school bully, Draco Malfoy.

Actually the entire school, even Draco and his cronies, stood and
raised their goblets in tribute to Cedric Diggory at the end of GoF,
and IIRC, some of the Slytherins even remained standing for Harry
(though Draco and his friends defiantly sat down). Also (as I've
mentioned before) all of the third-year Slytherins except Draco,
Crabbe, and Goyle cheered for Harry when he succeeded in riding Buckbeak. 

I'm wondering whether some of these Slytherins will distance
themselves from Draco in the next book. If they unite with the other
houses against him, will Slytherin become a house divided against itself?
