Chris, I'm wondering if you could provide something specific for its 
being stated over & over again that Slytherins are discriminated 
against by teachers, students & the general public?  Right now I'm 
not seeing discrimination in the Shrieking Shack incident, because 
I'm not sure what part of it you're referring to.  Also, I'm not 
grasping what you're saying about H&H in book three vs. Draco in book 
one.  

I'm just curious if you could expand on this more, because widespread 
*discrimination* against the Slyths by teachers, students & the 
general public is not something I recall [and I'm not saying it 
hasn't happened--just that I'm not recalling it].  Negative 
stereotyping certainly goes on; is that what you're thinking of when 
you say discrimination?
