for all the people saying “I’m slytherin because I’m sarcastic”. did you know that it’s mostly ravenclaws that are sarcastic? or gryffindors who are “brutally honest”. not saying that slytherins don’t have those traits, but to mainly identify them as slytherin is false. slytherins are loyal (not like hufflepuffs) to THEMSELVES first (whereas hufflepuffs are loyal to others first) and then FRIENDS/FAMILY (those they love) second.
this is why we see narcissa turn against Voldemort in the deathly hallows because Draco, someone she loved, was ok. therefore she didn’t care who won anymore as long as those she loved were safe.
also, if slytherins had the choice to save someone they love or 50 strangers, they would save the person they love/care about. they care about their kin before anyone else.
that’s why people say they’re mean and whatnot. because they don’t really care for those outside their small (yes, small) inner circle.

(i got a comment from a gryffindor saying that slytherins are bullies and jerks and all dark so)it’s not just slytherins who have a bad rep. Gryffinjerks (sorry, I saw the opportunity) are known for being complete douche-jocks. “But not all Gryffindors!” No! Of course not! And no one tends to focus on them anyways. Or snotty Ravenclaws. Or rude Hufflepuffs. Why? Because they’re not the bad guys
But apparently Slytherin is?? Slytherin is filled with evil people. NO. Some. Yes. But not everyone. Just like every single house has their ‘bad apples’, slytherin does too. But WHY do people only focus on that???
Merlin was a Slytherin. (oooh. now he’s evil right?)
Also, the reason why the dark wizards were mostly from Slytherin is, I believe, because no other house has the loyalty or support from their friends to be able to pull it off. I’m not saying that it’s right. But it is factual.
Basically, I’m tired of saying “I’m a slytherin!” and then people stop talking to me because I’m all of a sudden “’evil”’.
