But, the prejudice is fully justified as per JKR.  There's nothing 
there to fix.  Slytherins are bad and they need to be put up with, 
but why would anyone feel the need to not see them as bad when they 
are clearly all bad?

Betsy Hp:
I for one did not.  The WW is too deeply flawed to be fixed in one 
fell swoop.  I did expect some steps taken in the right direction.  
But that didn't happen (because you can't fix evil, I guess?).  So 
the WW is in a state much like Europe after WWI.

Honestly, the WW seems even more ripe for a dark lord than ever.  
Which is kind of an icky ending, but there is it.
