Alla:

I've always always thought that this is true in Potterverse as well. 
I 
thought that another thing that sort of supports that message was how 
Snape dessertion was viewed ( as good thing) since he deserted 
Voldemort and Peter's dessertion as bad thing. I mean I do not 
believe that Rowling encourages any loyalty 
to Voldemort whatsoever, IMO of course.

Now of course I am not sure that Snape deserted dear Lordie at all, 
but 
that is a different story, heheh.

I do think that she is going to unite the houses at the end, but with 
no loyalty to DE left in Slytherin house. Again IMO.
