I did that search and came up with bupkis.

I can't help thinking that the Good Slytherin is going to be Draco 
Malfoy.

I only have two real pieces of evidence to support this theory, and 
they're flimsy.

One, there is an overwhelming "things are not as they seem" theme and 
Draco and the Malfoys have so far been very much as they seem.

Two, the school motto means "Never wake a sleeping dragon" or 
something along those lines, and Draco means dragon.

In addition, it is entirely too easy to come up with plausible ways 
for it to happen.

Voldemort is as nasty to his followers as he is to his enemies, he 
could discard Lucius in a manner that alienates Draco.

Draco could be disillusioned by something he sees his father do.

Narcissa could secretly despise the whole pureblood thing and take 
advantage of the fact that Lucius is in prison to extricate Draco 
from that culture.
