I'm not saying that all Slytherins push their emotions down as far as they can go. They hide them. That's what I'm saying. They're weaknesses in that they hinder their plans when they are shown (or they think it does). They have ambitions, they want to succeed, and they can't have those hindrances.
As for the Slytherins... it's not so much when they're faced in a room with small numbers, I don't think. It's when they're faced with the problem in question, actually faced with it. Snape was worried about Draco and he was facing Draco alone, and were able to talk upfront to each other about what was bothering them, so his worry showed.
