Maybe we've only seen the Slytherins that are doing something not to
Harry's liking.  Maybe the other Slytherins are just nondescript and
don't do anything that attracts Harry's attention (because we usually
see Harry's POV).

I agree. Because JKR has stressed a few times through the sorting
hat that the 4 houses need to unite, I believe that the Slytherins
in book 7 will somehow come around to the other 3 houses opinion of
LV.  I'm not sure how this will happen whether personal family
members getting killed by LV and/or DE's or because the 7th
year 'leader' Draco is not around to influence their opinions.
Crabbe and Goyle, IMO, will be very lost without Draco.  If Draco
does die because he didn't kill DD, then I don't think Pansy will be
very happy about LV and might want some sort of revenge.
Just my opinion.
