I completely agree here and think the fundamental mistake that JKR
had made is that she never redeems the Slytherins, she shows no hope
for them and for this reason I think everything that Harry Potter has
done to battle Voldemort was a waste!

The Slytherins are still left in a bad light; the cycle has not been
broken for them. This means that future Slytherins are still going to
turn into dark and power hungry wizards/witches and you would expect
to see more Voldemorts in their future. However, there will be no
horcruxes to save the others, when these wizards turn because the
plan for the Elder Wand will mean it will be useless and all they
will have is what Harry had without the horcruxes - nothing and no
chance of winning.

I am deeply disappointed by the unfair and down right prejudice JKR
has shown towards the Slytherins in the last book at Hogwards, they
played no part on the good side.
