What do you think of the 'Good' Slytherins? (ie Snape,Regulus and Draco)
I think that they are heros in their own rights and feel rather proctective of Draco and can get defensive when my friends diss him. I admire Regulus for his bravery and kindness to Kreacher. I feel sorry for snape who has loved Lily his whole life and has to live with the guilt that he was the one who told Voldemort about the prophecy thus resulting in her death. And I feel sad for poor Draco who has to watch his home being taken over by Voldemort and the how he is forced to watch/do things that he doesn't want to see/do
very true. Especially be a double agent for a man he knows killed his true love. That has got to hurt really bad. But Snape as Harry told his son...OH IM crying....was the Bravest wizard he ever knew.
You forgot Horace Slughorn. He is a Slytherin that loves life, has no prejudices as far as blood is concerned. He also has ethics : he was appalled by Tom's question about Horcruxes.
They're my favorite Slytherins; I like them because they are obviously stronger than the other Slytherins emotion wise. I'm sure they are pressured into the Dark Arts, but those few don't give in. Remember: Being a Slytherin does NOT mean you are evil, it means you are cunning, but most times the cunning are the evil. However Regulus, Snape, Andromeda, etc show that that is not always the truth.

I agree completely. Also, I believe you can still be cunning and not have a single evil bone in your body. It all depends on how you use it. I see it as a gift, but I'm weird. LOL
sometimes its good to defy the odds. If you dont the stigma grows stronger and stronger and more stereotypes are made. Look at Peter Pettigrew a Gryffendor gone BAD. Things arent always what they appear to be...Snape played his part well though, he did keep us guessing through the whole series.
Booooriiiiing! They defeat the entire purpose of Slytherin! If you wanna be a do-gooder, go to one of the other houses. Slytherin should be reserved for the pure evil ones.

Don't get me wrong though, I do love Snape and Draco, but I'm a purist when it comes to evil.
Ok, well that was actually out of character...but yes, as Bella, I do need some duelling practise. (I try to only roleplay on the Deatheater Roleplay Spot, since some people really seem to object to it)
Don't get me wrong, I love Draco to bits, but I wouldn't really consider him good, even by slytherin standards. He's bullied, taunted and been down right evil at times. Yes, he didn't wan't to kill dumbledore, but that's merely due to the fact he didn't want him or his family killed. Even after Harry saved him, he still went crawling back to the deatheaters.
Maybe he changed over the nineteen years, but that's not concrete.
Severus is my all-time favorite. Everything has already been said about him : bravery, cunning, intellectual brilliance, wit, loyalty, devotion (and let's put it like this, Alan Rickman's voice and physique, but that's just me).
But I was touched by Regulus and his kindness to Kreacher. And Horace Slughorn is just the kind of fellow you wish to have a drink with. He has good tastes and enjoys good food and good company and conversation.
I am less sure about Draco. But I will give him the benefit of the doubt as he was young and under the influence of his relatives, and enduring a lot of pressure from them while having qualms about his family's involvement with Voldemort. He could change later. I like to think he had renounced his prejudices. I hope so. I also like a 'good' Draco.
