a_svirn:
There is nothing particularly Gryffindorish about all of the above. 
It's not like Gryffs have a patent on loyalty, vengeance and being a 
man. As for winning glory it sounds like a worthy ambition for a 
Slyth. 


> Magpie:
He grows up a lot.  

a_svirn:
True. And he has finally acquired a third dimension. But I still say 
he's grown into a fine Slytherin.

a_svirn:
Actually, it was Dumbledore life that was threatened on the Tower. 
And like Pettigrew Draco had done Voldemort's bidding all along, 
which is why he was surrounded by DE in the first place. It is true 
that Dumbledore had given him a choice, but he didn't make one: 
Snape did it for him.
