I don't think racism and stereotypes against Muggle-borns is the same as Slytherin, a House which mostly produces evil people. Of the new stuff Rowling has released, one of my favorites is Ilvermorny, since none of its Houses compare to Slytherin. I always thought Hogwarts was greatly mistaken to have a House built around those who are power-hungry, arrogant, and cunning. Those are the exact kind of people who would be most easily tempted by the power Voldemort offered, and they were all in one place.

And I don't care for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, either. I didn't even bother to read it. From what I've heard - from Harry Potter Wiki and my sister (a die-hard Harry Potter fan like myself) - it did not sound good. I think Rowling had to have very little to do with it, and I do not consider it canon. Not to mention, the idea that Voldemort and Bellatrix had a daughter - that just sounds completely ridiculous.
