Alla:

Agreed, in fact very much agreed. I can never doubt that Harry's 
inner core is good. Yes, his everyday actions are not always the 
actions of the "goody - two shoes" and thanks G-d for that, but in a 
major way as in as you said being on the side of good, the text 
never makes me doubt that.

I would say even more - I don't mind Harry having a Slytherin side, 
in fact, who are we all without a little darkness in us,a s long as 
it does not become the major part of us.

But I am afraid that Harry's Slytherin side will dissappear when he 
will manage to break his connection with Voldemort and destroy him 
(I am of the opinion that Harry will survive at the end somehow).

I think that Harry's Slytherin side is due to some part of Voldemort 
soul, or whatever it is he is carrying in himself. (maybe link with 
Voldie as Neri theorised recently)
