Bart,

   I would agree with you about the "Good Slytherins" issue.  I think J.K. did paint them with a broad brush of self absorbed, power hungry individuals, with virtually no good characteristics.

   It seems, that Slytherin House is/should actually be more accurately described as very ambitious individuals, among others.  This trait in and of itself is not a bad thing.

   Since we are on this topic, when in the Deathly Hallows all the Slytherins are confined to their dorms, it seems to remind me (loosely) of the internment of Japanese-Americans after the Pearl Harbor attack.
