Heee, me simply does not see it, like at all, never did. Seven 
years, seven years Slytherin got the house cup - with DD being 
Headmaster, so I tend just laugh a lot, when I hear that Slytherin 
does not get fair share from Dumbledore.

Sure, their reign stops when Harry comes to school, but isn't that 
the point sort of?

I tend to laugh even more about Slytherins not getting fair share 
from DD after HBP, after seeing to what length he went to protect 
one Slytherin who was ready to kill him.

Yes, with that I am completely agreeing. I mean, that is precisely 
what I got from that rant. And I am completely with her on that :)
