Sigh. Yes to the Slytherin thing! I don't actually like any of them, except Phineas, because Rowling portrays them so badly, but I am just irritated at the heavy-handedness of it all.

That's true! I was happy to read about Neville being a professor! Though I was sad that he didn't get a romantic interest, as it seems to be Rowling's way of rewarding people (see: Snape and Lily, which is creepy like whoa). Plus, I feel Neville would make a much better romantic interest than either Harry or Ron, both of whom I want to smack with cluesticks.
