Won't save Slytherin, which is one of HP's goals.

I'm guessing that currently Hermione factors about 50 times more in Harry's utility function than the whole of Slytherin House put together.

Hermione is much more important, but HP would prefer a plan that did not inherently make Draco his enemy. I don't think it is much of a stretch to think exposing Malfoy Manor to anti-matter would make Draco become an enemy.

Only because she's in more and more immediate danger. It might be possible to build another plot to help Slytherin later, but Hermione needs help now.
