Exactly, a polite nod instead of venomous glares.  What nobody seems 
to take into consideration is that the pureblood views of Slytherin 
house have held for hundreds of years, and the upheavel in Harry's 
generation was really only, what, 2 years long?  Can we expect a 
reform that fast?  The fundamental change, if you want to believe that 
it happened, was after Voldemort's death.
