Saraquel:
I didn't follow all of the Good Slytherin thread, so usual apologies 
if I'm repeating.  Your phrase inner-slytherin, Betsy, made me think 
that Harry is actually the model of the good Slytherin.  In terms of 
Slytherin qualities the hat points out 2 in particular - cunning and 
ambition.

It seems that Harry has developed both these qualities much more in 
HBP. The cunning to achieve his ends is particularly in evidence IMO, 
in the scene where he hides the HBP's potion book from Snape.  Whereas 
the ambition is revealed right at the end of the Horcruxes chapter, 
where he thinks that if anyone is to take out Voldemort, he wants it 
to be himself.  I'd call taking on the most evil overlord ever, pretty 
ambitious.
