The preparation of the Greengrass defense had been grueling. But the more time Harry spent with his client, the more he had become convinced that, so long as one was willing to look at the case with impartial eyes, there was a possibility that Daphne may be telling the truth. Whatever that truth was, at least as the jury was about to declare what was considered truth about what had gone on at Hogwarts, what was clear to Harry now was that many of the Slytherin students – though by no means all - particularly the older ones, had been given a bad rep. There were accusations, rumors of what the Slytherins had done in service to the Carrows and Snape during the occupation. But how many of those actions had been done with deliberate forethought, and how many had been coerced? Survivors from the other Houses liked to proclaim loudly that they had been the ones being persecuted, which was clearly the truth.... just an incomplete one. Had any of the kids in the DA really stopped to think that maybe there had been Slytherins who were terrorized too? Harry suspected that there had to have been Slytherins who didn't go enthusiastically all in to execute the Carrows" authoritarian plans. In depositions, Daphne had seemed to suggest that she had been one of those, only to be bullied by Amycus and Alecto and others, including, according to her, Malfoy.
