Slytherin himself valued purebloods above all others and this supposedly caused a riff between Gryffindor and himself.  I appreciate a response or your opinions, thank you.  Jenn fuzz876i

JKR is leading us astray again. You really can't take at face value what any one says in her books, but "by their fruit you shall know them" is the way to analyze the works.  Then you see she puts good characters in all the Houses and bad ones too.  Plus, there are no truly black and white characters (Umbridge excepted IMHO).  Even LV had a small chance of redemption at the end, at least Harry thought it was worth a try. It's always much more complicated than we see on the surface, which is why we find so much to talk about.   It is also why I think the scene in the Great Hall when Slytherine walked out is intended to make us jump to the conclusion that they all support LV, but I agree a careful look at the scene reveals that they had good reason to beleive they had no other choice at the time.
