EEEEEEEEEE Tommy I love you for making this thread

Even though I myself am truly a Gryffie, as I was placed on this site

I think that Slytherin always gets such a bad reputation. What house you're in doesn't define who you are--it's your actions that define you. People were simply placed in Slytherin house because they're cunning and able to manipulate people to get what they want, and who ever said that was a BAD thing? Sure, this can be abused, but that doesn't mean that EVERYONE from Slytherin is sneaky to the point of being a dark wizard or just a flat out rude person. Being cunning is not the only thing that Slytherin is known for either. All the houses have different personality traits associated with them, like Gryffindors are supposed to be brave AND chivalrous, and as Tommy said, there are a number of Gryffindors who proved that wrong. Like Peter Pettigrew. And Cormic McLaggen

Unfortunately, being cunning is one of the atributes that comes in handy when wanting to take over the world

And Voldemort happened to be sorted into that house, along with a number of his supporters. Plus, there is that whole issue with Salazaar turning against the other three founders. So, the poor Slytherins pretty much just had everything working against them

Doesn't mean they're not capable of being just as brave, smart, and loyal as a...Grypuffclaw
