So carefully that precious 11-year-old Harry came within meters of
Quirrellmort and was saved by the intervention of a non-school-staff
forest resident...

If I learned that my 11-year-old son, while serving his
school-detention alone in a high-security prison, came within 10
meters of a machine-gun-holding terrorist and was saved only through
the courageous intervention of a passing-by guard, I would NOT believe
that his headmaster and his staff were protecting my son
appropriately. Chances are that I would in fact pull my son out of
this school, and sue the staff for having deliberately put my son into
mortal danger.

 that I am very open to the idea of Good Slytherin, but I am just as
open to the idea that Slytherins will remain evil."

Del replies:
Remain? The Slytherins will REMAIN evil? Can you point me to the post
where you or anyone carefully demonstrated that all the Slytherins ARE
evil?

What you are saying is "I will believe that all the Slytherins are
evil as long as one of them isn't shown to be innocent". IOW: they are
guilty until proven innocent, simply on the basis that they are
Slytherin. This is pure and simple prejudice.

I'm not sure what you mean. Can you elaborate, please?
