I agree with everything in your above comment, first. XP But to answer your question, no, my opinion hasn't changed since HBP and DH came out. I still think JKR simplifies the houses too much and that the readers are led to believe "facts" about the houses that are proven wrong both by canon and common sense.
In fact, when Slytherin was left out in DH, it had me really wondering what JKR's plans were. Is she just aiming for hoping that people will conclude that every 11-year-old child sorted into Slytherin will immediately turn into a mass-murdering lunatic? Or does she have some sort of plan involving subtly convincing people to turn against everyone who doesn't have the same viewpoints she does? Either way, it's a sad thing and quite confusing for anyone who can... well, think.
And oh, did you enjoy that one reviewer's comment? I swear, reading that kind of shit is the reason I've stopped using sites besides LJ. It's like, um, hello? Did you even READ the essay? B/c you're agreeing with me. *headdesk* And let's not get into the grammatical horrors of it all. D:
As we've previously discussed, JKR is an incompetent troll who doesn't know what to do with good characters when she's got them. It's just a sad thing that she thinks hiding under the realm of children's lit will make it okay.
