Alla: LOL! It sure is a possibility. Seriously though, if we were to 
look for "good " Slytherin among the adults, I would say Dumbledore 
is a strong enough possibility.

Do we have any other confirmation of him being a Gryff, except 
Hermione's "she heard that Dumbledore was in Gryffindor"
She haven't read about it in "Hogwarts, A History", hasn't she?

Alla:
Possible, quite possible, or their parents filled them in on who the 
sympathetic teachers are.

Alla:

I understand what you said earlier. I did not think that Snape would 
interpret Draco's complaint as Harry picking on him. I was just 
wondering why Snape would care about Draco's opinion in the first 
place, rather than form his own opinion.

Alla:

I wish I knew the answer to that.
