Betsy Hp:
...will be exactly the same.  After all, they have the exact same 
issues passing between them: cut-throat quidditch games and way too 
serious attention paid to house points and all.  Slytherin and 
Gryffindor will never be friends.  The rift has won.

Betsy Hp:
Actually, JKR's opinion count's the *least* in my opinion.  Because 
she's the one trying to tell us something.  It's *the reader's* call as 
to whether or not she succeeded.  Like a pastry chef may feel he has 
placed the most delicious cake in the world in front of you, but it's 
your taste that will be the judge.
