Hey fellow Snakes! I'm awaiting sorting at a HP community on Livejournal, but I'm fairly certain I'll get Slytherin, I always have!
Or Ravenclaw.

Either are fine, but I do love me some Slytherin.

Well, you know, the whole "Slytherin-is-evil" thing is derived from the fact that the books are written in limited third-person, which means we get to see Harry's thoughts, which were directly influenced at the outset by Ron's remark "There wasn't a witch or wizard who went bad who wasn't in Slytherin." Because of this, he asked the Hat to place him elsewhere (he's the Slytherin that could have been) and became prejudiced right from the start. Also, one of the most digustingly awful people in the whole series is Peter Pettigrew who betrayed the Potters out of cowardice and fear, and he was a Gryffindor. Slytherins are unjustly maligned. Also, they're AWESOME!!!

@ Mina- I agree. Although, when HP was set (during the War), most Slytherins did turn out to be at least Death Eaters-in-training. I do think most of the malice got lost on the younger generation... anyway, I think we Slytherins know better, but the other houses may think Slytherin=Voldemort and Voldemort=killing people, so therefore Slytherin=killing people.

By my comment I just meant that I think in HP's years (5+, anyway) there would be a lot of pressure to be a Death Eater, and I wouldn't want that. I consider myself a Slytherin, though, for its real characteristics.

Ugh, I hate it when everyone presumes all Slytherins are evil/killers. We are just cunning, determined and witty. Plus, we are also clever, as well as the Ravenclaws. Also, not all Gryffindors are heroes. Look at Seamus - he believed the Daily Prophet and shunned stupid Harry for a year.

J.K. was definitely thinking of the Daily Mail when she thought about the Daily Prophet. And why aren't there any other newspapers in the wizarding world?

Sorry for the rant.

I think I'd be in Slytherin for its supposed criteria- cunning and wit. Not that I'm necessarily witty, but whatever. I don't think I'd be in Slytherin when they were killing people though; I'm too weak-stomached for that. But all the best characters were in Slytherin. It's so much more interesting than Gryffindor.

Plus, green>red.

I love Snape. Snape is too awesome. I don't believe he is dead. He can't be dead. J.K. Rowling just doesn't know he is alive!!!
