SSSusan:
Indeed. I was reminded quickly of Slughorn's comments in HBP about the power 
of obsessive love.


Carolyn: << Unnoticed in the general rejoicing business continues
absolutely as normal. Kids are still sorted into four houses;
Slytherin is still detested. >>

SSSusan:
Exactly.  This is a puzzle to me.  We finally get our 'good Slytherin' in a 
wacky sort of way in Snape... at the same time that she re-lumps all the 
Slytherin students together and has them act en masse, all of a kind.  And 
I'm not sure the little talk between Harry & son #2 at the end does *quite* 
enough to convince that if he ends up in Slytherin, it's truly okay.  Very 
strange, all of the Slytherin House bit.
