2) Nearly Headless Nick agrees with Slytherin's ghost, the Bloody Baron, that Peeves should not be allowed at the feast. Did you think this indicated a later union, or at least cooperation, between Gryffindor and Slytherin? 


I'm not sure about a later union but personally, I felt that NHN agreed with the Bloody Baron for 2 reasons.
First, I seems that BB was a sort of "leader" of the ghosts, one they respected and feared.  So agreeing with him certainly would put NHN in his good graces.
But NHN faced his own prejudice by the Headless group.  He was a sort of outcast and perhaps this was a way for him to show his own prejudice.  "Nyah, Nyah, I'm better than you are."
