And what was with ALL of Slytherin leaving Hogworts. I can't believe the entire house would leave and slide with Vodlemort. That bothered me. Why bother even having a house of Slytherin in the "new" Hogworts if it only produces evil witches and wizards? I refuse to believe the whole house was evil- even people like the Malfoys had a change of heart(somewhat) in the end.

Slytherin doesn't only produce bad wizards, but all the dark wizards have come from the house. Not the same thing. (Those kids would just be sorted into another house) I think it's the ambition that the house values that does it, IMO.
But you could argue that those same qualities would have led even the "good ones" to get the hell out of Dodge if only because they didn't want to fight for the wrong side. Not many Hufflepuffs or Ravenclaws stayed either.
MysticCat: Some 6th years would be of age as well, Luna stayed and no one put up a fuss, and Ron was of age during his 6th year. I get the impression Harry was actually young for his class, not the norm.
