Slytherin House
"Or perhaps in Slytherin, you'll make your real friends, those cunning folk use any means, to achieve their ends."
Slytherin is one of the four Houses at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and
Wizardry. Founded by Salazar Slytherin, the house is composed mostly of
pure-blood students, due to its founder's mistrust of Muggle-borns. The
house is traditionally home to students who exhibit such traits as
cunning, resourcefulness, and ambition. Its emblematic animal is a snake
and its colours are green and silver. The house ghost is the Bloody
Baron. Slytherin corresponds roughly with the element of water with
serpents being commonly associated with the sea and lochs in western
European mythology as well as serpents being physically fluid and
flexible animals. The colours also correspond with waters around lakes
and lochs often being green, and silver being often associated with grey
rain water.
