Wait one second...
Let's not overlook the following fact: without Slytherin product
Severus Snape, armed with all the trappings and tools of Slytherin
House, Voldemort would not have been defeated. In order to defeat
evil, you MUST, to some extent, have its skills at your disposal.
Tom Riddle would have become the Dark Lord with or without Slytherin
House, but would Severus Snape have become Severus Snape?
I don't think so...
