Very true! And also, Horace Slughorn may be out for himself and making sure he helps all the students he thinks will one day help him, but he's pretty likable, really, and fights on the right side in the end.

One more thing: IMO, Regulus didn't turn good, he WAS good. He was the good, obedient son who went into Slytherin because it was the family tradition and what his parents wanted; Sirius was the rebel. When Regulus joined the Death Eaters it was also the thing the family wanted of him. In the end, he couldn't do it any more.

Just my opinion. :-)
