> Basically, it seems to me, you're just asking them to do exactly what the other students did, right? The other three houses, iirc, get up all on their own, showing that if anybody wants to give Harry over, they'll have to go throught them. Any Slytherin student could have done the same thing--even if they didn't like Harry. 


Alla:

Absolutely! And I am sure we can come up with millions of very valid reasons why they did not do so, but here I just want to  say basically what you seem to be saying on the Draco's thread if I understood  you correctly. I totally totally understand  why Slytherins would be worried for their lives, for their families and would not do that, but in the book that seems to place courage extremely high, it seems to me that yeah, it was done for a reason.

And no, I was not asking them to do so because Harry was their friend OR Harry was theirs, quite the contrary. 


JMO,

Alla.
