The hat here seems to be almost sorting partially based on family

that the Dursley's in general fit into the Slytherin mold.  Given

Martin managed to
make it into Gryffindor, certainly Duncan can take a shot at
Slytherin.  
This is partially a
long term assessment as well and as Duncan grows a bit more
confident he 
could grow
into the Slytherin mantle.

    He well may do.  Environment counts for something too.

Actually, thinking about it a little more, I can actually see this.
 
Given the others (that
aren't explicitly leaning slightly towards the dark) sorted into 
Slytherin, I think it is mainly
those that feel they have something to prove now--those who don't
have a 
negative bias
against Slytherin anyway.  (The hat does seem to take the wearers 
desires into account
if he's aware of them after all.)  Duncan has gone most of his life

being trodden upon and
probably feels, down beneath the mental baggage, that he needs to
prove 
himself to his
father or more so himself.

   More on Slytherin House next chapter.

Anyway, looking forward to more of this, its been an interesting
read so far.

Thanks!

SKJAM!
