If other characters did not receive the same kind of development, I think it's more because they weren't important characters (like Pansy, for instance), and less because of maintaining that viewpoint of Slytherin house.

I agree with FoxFire & Tomasina and my fellow Slytherins. Like Tomasina, I am also ambitious and cunning at times. I actually think that most people have a mixture of the various traits from the different houses- Ravenclaw- intellectual, Hufflepuff-faithful/loyal, Gryffs-brave and Slytherin-cunning and/or ambitious. As I am a post grad student I have a touch of Ravenclaw in me

I enjoyed the final book as we were shown a different 'softer' side of Malfoy who was terrified by Voldemort and the true motivations behind Snape's desire to help the good side.
Just my 2 cents.
