What I understood, the ZPT needs Zope 2, because it uses ZClasses. And with
ZClasses, you can subclass the UserFolder and USer objects, and add your
own properties.

Yes, ZPT will be very integrated, because large parts are implemented in
ZClasses. Those parts that are not, will for a large part be integrated
into the Zope framework (like the Catalog, see Paul Everitt's last email
entitled 'Collector Source?')
