Just a thought about the whole "pureblood values" thing: although the children all go to the same boarding school, their parents have them for eleven years before that. That's plenty of time for the ... |

slytherinheiress does have a point, in that we haven't seen a lot of the inner workings of pureblood families in canon, and fanfic writers are free to interpret.
