Alla:

I do not know about you, but **I** know enough about Andromeda to 
convince me that she is one of the examples of good Slytherins. For 
the secondary character of course. 

She, the daughter of pureblood family, child in Slytherin ( I agree 
with Robert, I never doubted that it means that all Sirius cousins 
were in Slytherins for same reason as he, IMO of course) left home 
and married muggleborn.

This action tells me a lot about Andromeda right there. That she 
puts love ahead of any pureblood values.

And she brought up Tonks. Seems to me that mother who brought  up 
daughter like that cannot be bad as a person either.
