Not to mention we see Gryffindors, for example, who display what we might call the "dark side" of that House's traits--McLaggen, Vane, the Weasley twins at times (Sirius and James and Peter, too, if you want to go back a generation--also, Harry and the other main good guys themselves, at times).

Every House has its strengths and its flaws, I think. I blame the influence of Voldemort's generation for Slytherin's flaws being highlighted/ingrained during the time of the books, and I hope they can shake it off as time passes. (I would have loved to see a bit more Slytherin redemption--aside from Snape--in the final book, too. I admit I am biased because I really like snakes and consider "cunning" an excellent trait to have.)

Exactly.

I agree that every house as its strenght and flaws and that's what makes me annoyed about the way JKR treated Slytherin. Yes, she said there were Slytherins that went back to the Battle of Hogwarts with Slughorn (and I believe that) but it was never shown; you don't get points for tell not show.

I agree Voldemort and the Death Eaters caused everyone to paint Slytheryn as completely evil, while ignoring darker parts of the other Houses. ("Wasn't a Dark Witch or Wizard who wasn't in Slytherin" my ass.)

I'm a bit biased as well as I appreciate "ambition" and "cunning" myself.

Well, you can't really build something without ambition and cunning anymore than you can without hard work/strength of conviction/store of knowledge, right? They're all useful things to have.

(I love Hagrid, but his initial into-to-the-Wizarding-World exposition way back in Book 1 had some, er, holes in it, from my perspective.)

I completely agree.

(Hagrid was awesome but he was completely on the "Gryfinndor is way cool, forget the other houses" kick in his intorduction to Hogwarts.)
