Ravenclaw here. Honestly, before learning more about Harry Potter, I was under the impression that Slytherins were inherently evil, somehow. I know that’s a silly thought now but the narrative really does push it. Despite this bias, it really is astounding how Rowling can write Slytherins as three dimensional morally grey characters and not realise she’s done it.
Same, in 6th grade we had this Hogwarts dynamic with our teacher, he would sort us into each house every bimester (not based on the traits tho), we did posters for the houses and he included "malicious" for Slytherin and told us all that Gryffindors were the heroes, Slytherins are bad and Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff don't matter. At that time I was in puberty so I had this very confusing thing in my head where I wasn't really being myself, even when doing the quiz on Pottermore. I got Hufflepuff and now that I am more true to myself, Hufflepuff would be my last house, then Gryffindor, then Ravenclaw and my house is Slytherin. I consider myself as a kind, sweet and positive person who just happens to be ambitious, cunning and resourceful.
And can we please take a moment to appreciate the fact that Dracos mother (obviously a Slytherin) saved Harry by pronouncing him dead and lying to the dark lord? If she hadn’t done that the story would have turned out completely different.
She did that for her son, almost any mother would do that, but yeah. Respect for doing that. But let's don't forget, that she's still a blood purist...
@@youdontremembermyoldposts9830 maybe she is and maybe she isn't. Either way, she played a role, in winning a future for her grandson's right to exist.
Dumbledore talking like he aint the King Slytherin himself. When you have a 18 year plan to destroy your enemy that involves convincing a child to sacrifice themselves after fulfilling a long side quest and arrange for the kid to survive their own death? SLYTHERIN
No hate towards the Gryffindor house, my friend is one, and I’m not saying that your against that house, but I totally agree. Every time I see Draco it’s just a mass of emotion for me, the man was just influenced and raised to believe these things, it really wasn’t his fault. Maybe if Harry hadn’t shook his hand, but still wanted to become friends with the two houses, shit could’ve went down a lot better. Though it does piss me off that basically ALL the side-main characters are Gryffindor too, we just got lucky with Luna. -Ravenclaw/Slytherclaw
What is bugging me is the number of people who are increasingly defending James Potter. He was a bully. It doesn't matter that Snape fought back. It was five on one all led by James in systematic abuse for 7 years! Yes, James did not let Snape die, but does not the absolute worst really redeem him? And Snape being upset that Lily started dating him? Yeah, given their history I can see why!
Not to mention that JK Rowling doesn't seam to care about all the kids that got sorted into slytherin on Pottermore and felt incredibly disappointed because of it. I did the sorting hat quiz actually hoping to get sorted into Griffindor because I wanted to be part of "The good guys house", and I was very sad at first when I got sorted into Slytherin. Then growing up I realized that all this hate towards Slytherin was bullshit and I started loving my house and I really identify with it's traits.
Slytherins from the very beginning are said to be bad all because Salazar Slytherin was paranoid and didn't want the muggle to come kill them because they were killing witches and wizards in this time. To be honest Salazar was the smart one. I may be biased as I am a Slytherin myself but think about it. These muggles are killing them and they are just like, "hey lets invite them to our perfectly safe space for wizarding children." Do you not think ,even if its a small little voice inside your head, that maybe they are spies and there raised to hate you so why wouldn't they lead an army of freaking muggles to Hogwarts to kill you all. Years later Slytherins have a bad rep that they can't escape no matter how hard they try. So maybe they become the thing everyone thinks they already are. Now imagine an orphan who is clearly hurt and broken (not saying Tom Riddle wasn't bad) came to Hogwarts and gets told he's evil. Fast forward a little bit, he finds out he's the great great great maybe even more great grandson of Salazar Slytherin the so called evil Hogwarts founder. You would probably be upset and totally go to the dark side with everything going on. Children are really influential if you are violent they will be violent, if they are told muggleborns are wastes of space they are going to believe that even if it's just for awhile. I'm not trying to justify his actions later on because he could have been the bigger person and get over it but maybe just maybe he was driven to be evil because of the horrible prejudice against Slytherins and his days in the orphan edge. I get you need a bad guy to ever story in some shape or form but if the prejudice against Slytherin didn't exist maybe it wouldn't have been Tom Riddle, maybe it would have been someone else, maybe it would still be Tom Riddle, maybe it would have saved hundreds of lives because people could have helped the poor suffering Slytherin children and possibly ended this before it even began. But then again we wouldn't have these books, or maybe we would but better.
Well said. Nothing quite like being upset that your coworkers want to invite the children of the people running around burning witches and wizards so come to a magic school. I mean heaven forbid Salazar be concerned about something like that
@@thebrooklynquintana you know the funny thing is. No matter if its fiction or not but: history is written by the victors. In this case salazar left the school (according to jk) the other three are left at the school to fix things but they have no founder or some sort of gardiain for the slytherins. So there left to there one dificces. Years later you have this rivalry between houses that just don't dissove. In other words ravenclaw, gryffindor and hufflepuff are the victors. So the write the story told/history. Ps. Slytherin to the core Pps. English is not my first language. Sorry if a spelled somethings wrong.
Unpopular opinion here, but I am 100% certain that Grindelwald would have been a Gryffindor. Sure he has ambition and leadership skills, he has a goal and is determinate. BUT he is a Gryffindor because he was more bold than cunning. He was more idealistic than he was realistic. The man was known to be a sadistic playful leader, not a sadistic analytical one. He made passionate speeches, knew how to make himself appear as a hero meant to save wizard-kind, even trying to appear benevolent to his ennemies, but he didn't have a Slytherin approach. Slytherin will get either full on political OR will do everything under the radar until they get the right opportunity. Grindelwald was not subtle: he plunged both worlds in a war and he would threaten governments directly instead of infiltrating them with his people. Yep, definitely a Gryffindor villain if I've ever seen one!
I love your take on this! Although, and here comes a hardcore 100% unpopular opinion, the truest Gryffindor villain of them all was Dumbledore. No wonder he and Grindelwald were friends. Dumbledore's approach was that of a Gryffindor trying to be a Slytherin in a way. He thought himself cunning, but he preferred bold plans and running into things passionately instead of understated. Voldemort wanted no one to know he was back, he wanted to work under the radar. Dumbledore was straight up "hey I'm the head of the Order of the Phoenix" and "oh yes I helped with that whole Philosopher Stone deal". Also, thank you for your interesting and thoughtful commentary. I'm enjoying reading your thoughts on the matter of Slytherin House. :)
@@thebrooklynquintana Oh my God yes! This! I have been saying for so long that Dumbledore is a villain! I mean, he said it himself: he was scared of what he would do should he accept the offer of being Minister Of Magic. And he was so manipulative, who sends children into danger AND REWARDS THEM! It was a pleasure to listen to your thoughts on all of that, I swear, JK did us all dirty. Slytherins gotta stick together!
@@dilaylad1903 whole heartedly agree! I'm trying to temper myself in making anymore "WTF JK ROWLING" videos for a while but I just can't seem to help myself. Hopefully you'll stick around and enjoy more slyther-friendly content lol !

@@Crybaby_Vampire D-did you not watch the whole video? because this whole mini series is about the fact that Slytherins aren't always bad Slytherins can be extremely sweet in fact one of the nicest people I know is a Slytherin
Not gonna lie but when I first saw the clips of James being mean to Snape and taking away lily from Snape (even though lily DEFINETLY wasn't into James cause he was bullying Snape) I really hated him! Like come on! I hope James got in trouble for everything he did to Snape
@@edenwittles6390 first: ouch second: true point third:... I still wish he would have gotten more trouble than dying and not being considered a tragic good protective man and more of a fool "who forgot his wand to fight you-know-who" and still a messed up arrogant bully who messed people up for fun
This is only mentioned like once or twice in the books but Merlin, one of the greatest wizards of all times who also protected muggles was a Slytherin.
Yessss!!! I loved every second of this video. I also loathe how she/Harry describes all Slytherin characters in a negative way physically as well--either they look like trolls or they're ugly in some way.
@@thebrooklynquintana oh thanks!! And maybe it is the most unpopular opinion ever but i see Bellatrix lestrange in hufflepuff since she is a very loyal, patient and hard-working person. I know it is impossible for some people to even think about it (she is evil so she has to be in slytherin following jk rowling's logic) but i see more hufflepuff trait's in her than slytherin's
I feel like Snape was supposed to be like the representation of Slytherin which is just frustrates me. Like Snape is actually rude and a bad person but then he does one good thing and becomes a star Gryffindor boy. And I have to agree like Slytherin is like the “bad” house and Gryffindor is the good boy house. Also like Hermione literally doesn’t like being judged for being a muggle born but in multiple occasions we see her being just judging all of Slytherin just because of Draco and his goons and just uggghhh frustration
Agree.Snape is a bad%ss but GOD is he a huge Piece of sh#t.yes he loved lily sure and protected harry all and all but... His love for lily is toxic as hell, And he bullied Harry out of Pettiness.like if you bully someone out of petty spite,and if you,i dont know save them from a car crash.youre still an A-hole.i really wished that rowling actually used the house system and made the characters Interhouse and that stuff.or at tge very least One just One Good Slytherin for the Narrative
As for good slytherins, there's Merlin, Andromeda Tonks, Horace Slughorn, and Regulus Black (Draco, Narcissa, and Snape are in kind of a grey area). But JK really goes out of her way to paint all of the good guys as gryffindors and all the bad guys as slytherins. Personally I think Dumbledore should have been a slytherin.
horace and regulus black are also grey. first of all we did not see the actual reason for regulus's change, he is said to have beean a fanboy of voldamort his sudden change occured due to his love for kreature. he was fully happy to join the death eaters while snape joined because he wanted a place to belong and to feel accepted (jk rowling said this about snape in an interview) horace slughron is defenitly grey, even though i like him but the fact is he is selfish person who only cares about his life and sees his favourite students as some sort of assets. i think andromeda tonks is only the white character in the series from slytherin. (merlin character appears outside of the series)
Anna Kiseleva seems to be a case of her own ego getting in her way. Sometimes you can’t save people from themselves lol. Thank you for watching the video and certainly for feeling the same building rage with Rowling! Consider watching some more videos on my channel and subscribing if you like the content! Thank you again
So I am a Gryffindor and my best friend is a Slytherin. We both have tendencies from each others houses, I can be really cunning and ambitious and she can be really brave and passionate. We work really well together, so well that if you mess with either of us it most likely won't end well for you. We also annoy each other a lot but we wouldn't have it any other way.
Me and my other two cousins formed a trio . One of them is a Slytherin and the other one is a Hufflepuff . And I myself am a Ravenclaw . Perhaps it would be fun if all three of us were in the same house . I often imagine ourselves as being good Slytherins .
Hagrid strikes me as more of a Hufflepuff, to be honest. Edit: On the subject of Snape being brave, I want to remind everyone of what the painting of Phineas Nigellus Black once said about this: We Slytherins are brave, yes, but we're not stupid.
So it seems. She certainly is a front runner in my opinion. In the ranking of best slytherins I’d put her second, behind snape but ahead of regulus black. Good point and thank you for commenting !
dude I was watching this and thought, "IS THAT SNAPE A DEFINITIVE READING I SEE IN THE BACKGROUND? H E L L Y E S ! I LOVE THIS PERSON HOW MANY SUBS DO THEY HAVE" and i was expecting like 200k or somewhere in that range. when i saw what you have at the time of writing i did an actual fucking double take. 379??? 379 are you KIDDING ME? this is quality content from an attractive person with good production value. you deserve WAY more.
Thank you for your support ! Breaking the 1k subscriber mark seems to be an insurmountable task at the moment lol but I’ll get there ! And then we’ll see about that 200k lol
I am a slytherin and I don’t know how many times I had to put down the book and yell at the author like when I saw Dumbledores army I was hurt that not a single slytherin wanted to join or how no characters wanted to invite them I also sometimes hated reading quidditch as every time slytherin played no one cheered them but they would cheer for other teams maybe not gryffindor but at least they did also battle of Hogwarts pissed me off with the all slytherins go to the dungeons like I bet there are people who want to fight. We might not be the nicest but we do anything to protest people we love (and ourselves because you should care about your safety to)
I do think they sort children to early, because at 11 I did not really have a definitive personality, and when they sort children at that age the only people who will know their true personality is maybe their house mates. However I do agree that Snape was a slytherin through and through.
Draco Malfoy being a loud and brash bully makes no sense, he should know better that him being outwardly hostile will punish Slytherin house. But, honestly that can be explained by JK Rowling wanting him to be a bully, but not understanding she gave Slytherin House traits which clash with his characterisation. Draco would become a social pariah in his house logically if he was so outwardly hostile, costing Slytherin house points. Rowling makes him act so badly, not realizing once again that for him to act so foolishly this makes him look more a Gryffindor than Slytherin. After all, Draco is suppost to be the face we think of when we think of Slytherins, that's how she wrote him. Rowling wanted him to be a Slytherin bully, loudly badmouthing several powerful people, yet be a member of the so called evil house. It makes no sense, Draco should know better that he's up against a system designed to punish his kind - aka, Slytherin House members. We Slytherins would never act so stupidly in front of others, we want to present ourselves as calm, composed, and rational individuals to the outside world. We often mature much faster in this world, to know our place in it, and our worth. That's why so many of us become distant, pessimistic, and weary people. We get hardened from life experiences to be this way, we're often more paranoid of everything. So yeah, JK Rowling wanted to have a cake and eat it too, ignoring our house traits are the polar opposites of how she makes the so called antagonist act. P.s - sorry for my bad English
I think Peter Pettigrew fully belongs in Griffindor for sheer strength of character, the only thing is that it is solely directed towards self-preservation. Most people in Pettigrew's place would have considered suicide, because such an existence is unbearable to most normal people. Also, getting close to Voldemort to give him the information did require some courage on his part because you cannot break the charm with threats or torture.
Wow ..even my fav character is Snape....I actually watched the Harry Potter series for the 1st time lol...in 2 days . Well I really expected Snape to change sides at the end.....but damn ...the storyline was so amazing ✌️✌️
Random but the only actual reason herimone was sorted into griffin doe was because she asked like harry she said in the book that she was supposed to be in ravenclaw
But like really if I was in the battle of Hogwarts I would not go down to dungeons because of that statement from McGonagall Because she said that we should go down but why should we like we are not bad but because of that I would just have gone upstairs and just fought against them and just join the death eaters because she just said that, can you actually understand what I'm saying because I don't know if it was understandable 😂 (I'm a Slytherin if you didn't know by now 😂😂😂😂😂)
Totally understand your point. Personally, with my slytherin sense of self preservation and McGonagall’s statement, I would’ve just left the whole battle out of spite like bye but he’s fix this yourselves not my problem
If they make another harry potter movie. His son should be the main focus and Slytherin should be the main focus as well with a them being good instead. And instead of it being just about Slytherin they make the 4 main characters be best friends from all different houses. Also i understand why they sent Slytherins to the dungeons. Because they would ve been fighting their parents. Killing their parents.
I don't think that's what Rowling is saying by, 'I think we sort to soon'. I took it more literally and I agree. Sorting children at eleven is very early. This is just or before their bodies are going through all these changes and will be shaping their personalities. Perhaps save the sorting until third or fourth year. Or, if it absolutely has to be in their first; have them spend a week in each common room and interacting with the people of those houses. Sorting them so early, creates the us/them mentality and reinforces like-minded thinking.
Can we please talk about poor Slughorn's mistreatment in Deathly Hallows? The dude basically was the canonically least awful Slytherin showing how those traits can very well be a good thing and that man is still thrown under the bus regardless of him being The component that thought Harry and Dumbledore the truth about Voldemort and his horcrux plan. Brah, isn't he technically the head of Slytherin during the period of Snape's Rule? Wasn't he installing any positive influence over his students that'd help counteract what the Carrows were doing? No. like how Book 5 didn't seem to think a house built on ambition wouldn't have students insulted by Umbrige's regression in teaching, JK seemed to not had cared for the idea that there'd be any Slytherin's who'd resist the dark side; Slughorn included. Maybe Dumbledore would say he was sorted 'too soon' and Slughorn should've been in Huffelpuff because of his kindness and work effect. I feel like I'm more or less in the same boat as that.
my thought's more recently on Voldemorte too were sort of like he was totally convinced snape was loyal and he still set the snake on him... That's kind of why he had to be put down.... Ambitions good, but it can be taken way too far.
I think Voldemort definitely believed snape was loyal but like you said ambition got the better of him and in believing snape was the master of the elder wand he had to kill him
Snape should be in Hufflepuff because he imprinted onto Lily like a baby duck. He's loyal to Lily to the point of absurdity. And also because I think Snape in Hufflepuff would be very funny
Theres another function that ambition does, it should mean slytherins would be likely to do jobs that need more doing given how supply and demand effects compensation causing high skill jobs with too few workers to be high in the social hierarchy much of the time
Tbh I have seven but that’s because I collect them. I collect copies of other books too and have multiple prints with different covers of those as well
When I read the comment Dumbledore made about Snape being in Gryffindor, I thought Dumbledore was trying to complement Snape. But I thought it was insulting. I also am tired of the flame wars. Everyone is entitled to their favorite character.
I actually have a lot of Ravenclaw traits but I just can't help it, Slytherin is the one I identify with the most and I would not want to be in any other houses. I think Slytherin is very misunderstood. We aren't evil or selfish, nor arrogant. I think most slytherins just have different values than most people or they don't, they just aren't afraid to openly talk about things like wanting fame and understanding that you sometimes have to care about yourself more than about others. They don't "sugarcoat" things. If they don't agree with you, they tell you. If they find you annoying, they tell you. If they think you did something stupid, they tell you. They can be rude or arrogant or even evil, but in the end, nothing is black and white. Dumbledore was a Gryffindor and he was still manipulative af sometimes. But did it make him a Slytherin? of course not. It's just that people are complex.
I'm a Hufflepuff, but I sort of agree with you. The qualities of Slytherin can produce both good and bad outcomes as can the qualities of the other houses.
Slytherin always being for Voldemort makes no sense. Even Draco's dad hated Voldemort by the end of the First Wizarding war because he was just a straight up dick. Why do you think he gave 2 shits about bringing him back. Voldemort does not show one of the key traits of Slytherin. Loyalty to friends and Family. He killed his follower for showing concern about him. How can you be ambitious when a guy like that rules the wizarding world. I was sorted in Slytherin on Pottermore and I despise Voldemort.
@@morianarnia9356 Snape treats Harry badly from the start, and even if harry turned out to be a jerk, Snape is a teacher and an adult so mistreating a child like that is a total abuse of power
@@Bianca1997lol Voldemort: "So, young Draco. Severus claims to have been on our side all along. What does his behaviour towards Harry Potter, and Dumbledore's other favoured students, seem to suggest to you?" Malfoy: "He's actually quite nice to them. Treats us all equally, even the mudbloods." Voldemort: "Interesting..."
I mean no, snape was an ass and a bully, but his love wasn’t obsessive. Where is it implied it is? His reason for turning against Voldemort can be seen as selfish because he only really cared for her, but he was never ”obsessed”. He left her alone when she wanted to end their friendship, and as far as we know he never spoke to her again. You are allowed to love a married woman, even if it is unrequited. He doesn’t meddle with Lily & James’ relationship. He doesn’t make her a love potion. Him begging voldemort to spare Lily because he didn’t want her to die was not some masterplan to get James out of the picture so that he could get with Lily. He had already lost her trust by then, and I don’t imagine he ever thought she would forgive him. He just wanted her to live. People throw this word around because they either severely misread Snape’s character, or they use it as a reason to justify their hatred of him. Like, there are already multiple reasons for that already, you don’t have to make EVERYTHING about him ugly. Yes, Snape’s love for Lily does not make him a good person, nor is it enough to redeem him. But why label it as obsessive? I don’t get it..
Today I've found out a very curious and amazing, funny thing)) at one of Russian sites I saw a test "who is your boyfriend in HP?")) And i honestly answered questions - gave answers close to my real life, describing my actual partner) and you know what?!)) My result was "Severus Snape"!))😍🙈 I thought: "Perfect!👌 checkmate, Rowling!"))😎✌
Snape - Stealthy and cunning. 100% true Slytherin. Draco - Bully and cowardly. Doesn't belong in Slytherin. Draco would've done better in a house that would've helped him grow past his flaws and become a better person like house Gryfindor or Hufflepuff.
I think that depends how we look at sorting. we don't know if the sorting hat takes into account only what you're like at 11 when it sits on your head, or if it has a way to see what you're like fundamentally as a whole person, as in what you value inherently and will continue to value most as you grow up
I hate Snape so much. #RegulusBlackWasTheBestSlytherin The only reason he joined Dumbledore is because Voldemort was considering Lily Potter. If not, he'd be in Azkaban. End of freaking story. But he is a Slytherin.
That is flat out not how it works. Believe it or not, the HP universe is not real, it's all her imagination. How can you not understand what you created?
"J.K Rowling Doesn't Understand Slytherin" You do understand that she wrote the books including Slytherin, don't you? Why are you saying that she didn't understand what she wrote especially since it's an incredibly massive hit? Harry had to have a rival in the books and JK Rowling chose Slytherin house to be that rival. The rival had to be at least partially evil. This helps the main character's storyline as a hero. It's just that simple.
The point is that she made a mistake associating ambition with evil when lots of "good" characters display the traits that Slytherin values. Heck, Dumbledore is probably the most ambitious and cunning character in the whole franchise, yet he's a Gryffindor simply because he's a good guy. I agree that Harry needed a rival, but that doesn't mean there couldn't be more nuance. Like, the series would be more interesting if Dumbledore and Cedric were Slytherins or if Rowling had gone through with adding the character Mafalda Weasley, a Slytherin. The books even suggest that Slytherin isn't inherently bad, but has simply been corrupted by Voldemort. Yet the books never follow through on that narrative and still put all the unlikeable characters in Slytherin. Which is just unfair, because the other houses' core traits can also be negative if they're taken to extremes. Bravery can become recklessness, intelligence can breed arrogance and loyalty can lead to dogma.

Witch burnings started in the 1400s, Hogwarts was built in the 900s!
I'm pretty sure it was established the witches and wizards weren't being killed in witch trials.
Unpopular opinion here, but I am 100% certain that Grindelwald would have been a Gryffindor. Sure he has ambition and leadership skills, he has a goal and is determinate. BUT he is a Gryffindor because he was more bold than cunning. He was more idealistic than he was realistic. The man was known to be a sadistic playful leader, not a sadistic analytical one. He made passionate speeches, knew how to make himself appear as a hero meant to save wizard-kind, even trying to appear benevolent to his ennemies, but he didn't have a Slytherin approach. Slytherin will get either full on political OR will do everything under the radar until they get the right opportunity. Grindelwald was not subtle: he plunged both worlds in a war and he would threaten governments directly instead of infiltrating them with his people. Yep, definitely a Gryffindor villain if I've ever seen one!
I love your take on this! Although, and here comes a hardcore 100% unpopular opinion, the truest Gryffindor villain of them all was Dumbledore. No wonder he and Grindelwald were friends. Dumbledore's approach was that of a Gryffindor trying to be a Slytherin in a way. He thought himself cunning, but he preferred bold plans and running into things passionately instead of understated. Voldemort wanted no one to know he was back, he wanted to work under the radar. Dumbledore was straight up "hey I'm the head of the Order of the Phoenix" and "oh yes I helped with that whole Philosopher Stone deal".
Also, thank you for your interesting and thoughtful commentary. I'm enjoying reading your thoughts on the matter of Slytherin House. :)
@@thebrooklynquintana Oh my God yes! This! I have been saying for so long that Dumbledore is a villain! I mean, he said it himself: he was scared of what he would do should he accept the offer of being Minister Of Magic. And he was so manipulative, who sends children into danger AND REWARDS THEM! It was a pleasure to listen to your thoughts on all of that, I swear, JK did us all dirty. Slytherins gotta stick together!
@@dilaylad1903 whole heartedly agree! I'm trying to temper myself in making anymore "WTF JK ROWLING" videos for a while but I just can't seem to help myself. Hopefully you'll stick around and enjoy more slyther-friendly content lol !
@@thebrooklynquintana I definitely am subscribing! I'll be there for the future rants, I have so many grievances so... 😅See you around, and thank for the videos!
@@dilaylad1903 thanks for the support! and if you'd like to share any rant ideas lol I'm always taking suggestions
I think Hagrid would have been a Hufflepuff
Yes. Alllll of the yes
@@thebrooklynquintana He's too sweet to be a Slytherin
@@Crybaby_Vampire D-did you not watch the whole video?
because this whole mini series is about the fact that Slytherins aren't always bad
Slytherins can be extremely sweet
in fact one of the nicest people I know is a Slytherin
Agreed!
Not gonna lie but when I first saw the clips of James being mean to Snape and taking away lily from Snape (even though lily DEFINETLY wasn't into James cause he was bullying Snape) I really hated him! Like come on! I hope James got in trouble for everything he did to Snape
I mean, he _did_ die
@@edenwittles6390 first: ouch
second: true point
third:... I still wish he would have gotten more trouble than dying and not being considered a tragic good protective man and more of a fool "who forgot his wand to fight you-know-who" and still a messed up arrogant bully who messed people up for fun
Honestly, if for some reason that snape wasn't in slytherin, he'd would, or should, be in ravenclaw. Not gryfindor by a long shot
yes. totally agree. but thank god he's a Slytherin lol
This is only mentioned like once or twice in the books but Merlin, one of the greatest wizards of all times who also protected muggles was a Slytherin.
Yessss!!! I loved every second of this video.
I also loathe how she/Harry describes all Slytherin characters in a negative way physically as well--either they look like trolls or they're ugly in some way.
Fred, George, Percy and Ginny Weasley are slytherin dont tell me otherwise
would't dream of it cause you're right
@@thebrooklynquintana oh thanks!! And maybe it is the most unpopular opinion ever but i see Bellatrix lestrange in hufflepuff since she is a very loyal, patient and hard-working person. I know it is impossible for some people to even think about it (she is evil so she has to be in slytherin following jk rowling's logic) but i see more hufflepuff trait's in her than slytherin's
And Umbridge is an evil Hufflepuff!
I feel like Snape was supposed to be like the representation of Slytherin which is just frustrates me. Like Snape is actually rude and a bad person but then he does one good thing and becomes a star Gryffindor boy. And I have to agree like Slytherin is like the “bad” house and Gryffindor is the good boy house. Also like Hermione literally doesn’t like being judged for being a muggle born but in multiple occasions we see her being just judging all of Slytherin just because of Draco and his goons and just uggghhh frustration
Agree.Snape is a bad%ss but GOD is he a huge Piece of sh#t.yes he loved lily sure and protected harry all and all but...
His love for lily is toxic as hell,
And he bullied Harry out of Pettiness.like if you bully someone out of petty spite,and if you,i dont know save them from a car crash.youre still an A-hole.i really wished that rowling actually used the house system and made the characters Interhouse and that stuff.or at tge very least One just One Good Slytherin for the Narrative
I've always thought J.K. would be in Slytherin. Why is she so mean to her own house?! 😭
As for good slytherins, there's Merlin, Andromeda Tonks, Horace Slughorn, and Regulus Black (Draco, Narcissa, and Snape are in kind of a grey area). But JK really goes out of her way to paint all of the good guys as gryffindors and all the bad guys as slytherins. Personally I think Dumbledore should have been a slytherin.
horace and regulus black are also grey. first of all we did not see the actual reason for regulus's change, he is said to have beean a fanboy of voldamort his sudden change occured due to his love for kreature. he was fully happy to join the death eaters while snape joined because he wanted a place to belong and to feel accepted (jk rowling said this about snape in an interview) horace slughron is defenitly grey, even though i like him but the fact is he is selfish person who only cares about his life and sees his favourite students as some sort of assets. i think andromeda tonks is only the white character in the series from slytherin. (merlin character appears outside of the series)
@@akhilanair4472 And most of these characters has worse development than a toenail or just not fleshed out.
the.... the books above the owls aren't sorted by number........ (great video thou i agree 100%)
im raging about a TONNE of things in the series and JK Rowling things wow (:::
Anna Kiseleva aren’t we all! She’s come out with some really ... interesting things recently. She’s turning her own fan base against her. Bad move JK.
@@thebrooklynquintana I'm surely hoping she's aware of that because otherwise, that would all be a very strange move to be doing :/
Anna Kiseleva seems to be a case of her own ego getting in her way. Sometimes you can’t save people from themselves lol. Thank you for watching the video and certainly for feeling the same building rage with Rowling! Consider watching some more videos on my channel and subscribing if you like the content! Thank you again
I'm a slytherin 🐍💚🐍💚🐍💚
I'm a Ravenclaw and I think your absolutely right. I'm curious to know what's going to be the next part
Judith Couillard thank you ! I’ve got a lot to say in the topic
So I am a Gryffindor and my best friend is a Slytherin. We both have tendencies from each others houses, I can be really cunning and ambitious and she can be really brave and passionate. We work really well together, so well that if you mess with either of us it most likely won't end well for you. We also annoy each other a lot but we wouldn't have it any other way.
it's always nice when there can be inter-house cooperation! glad y'all get along :)
Me and my other two cousins formed a trio . One of them is a Slytherin and the other one is a Hufflepuff . And I myself am a Ravenclaw . Perhaps it would be fun if all three of us were in the same house . I often imagine ourselves as being good Slytherins .
Hagrid strikes me as more of a Hufflepuff, to be honest.
Edit: On the subject of Snape being brave, I want to remind everyone of what the painting of Phineas Nigellus Black once said about this: We Slytherins are brave, yes, but we're not stupid.
I mean Andromeda was a Slytherin and she definitely wasn't a blood supremacist or evil. Did Rowling just forget her?
So it seems. She certainly is a front runner in my opinion. In the ranking of best slytherins I’d put her second, behind snape but ahead of regulus black. Good point and thank you for commenting !
THIS IS SO CATHARTIC OMG. THANK YOU!!!!!!!
Did u know that there is a depleted scene from the last movie when draco passed a sand to Harry
You mean a 'wand'???
@@SilverD33r no sand, he had come back from the beach and brought sand as souvenir
@@rahul0000nm Oohhh right! Now I remember!
@@rahul0000nm 🤣 LMAO
dude I was watching this and thought, "IS THAT SNAPE A DEFINITIVE READING I SEE IN THE BACKGROUND? H E L L Y E S ! I LOVE THIS PERSON HOW MANY SUBS DO THEY HAVE" and i was expecting like 200k or somewhere in that range. when i saw what you have at the time of writing i did an actual fucking double take. 379??? 379 are you KIDDING ME? this is quality content from an attractive person with good production value. you deserve WAY more.
Thank you for your support ! Breaking the 1k subscriber mark seems to be an insurmountable task at the moment lol but I’ll get there ! And then we’ll see about that 200k lol
I am a slytherin and I don’t know how many times I had to put down the book and yell at the author like when I saw Dumbledores army I was hurt that not a single slytherin wanted to join or how no characters wanted to invite them I also sometimes hated reading quidditch as every time slytherin played no one cheered them but they would cheer for other teams maybe not gryffindor but at least they did also battle of Hogwarts pissed me off with the all slytherins go to the dungeons like I bet there are people who want to fight. We might not be the nicest but we do anything to protest people we love (and ourselves because you should care about your safety to)
Very well said ! Thank you for your comment
One of the reasons why Discworld is better.
Its easer to be brave when your cunning and have a plan.
I think Hagrid was a hufflepuff
Me too
I do think they sort children to early, because at 11 I did not really have a definitive personality, and when they sort children at that age the only people who will know their true personality is maybe their house mates. However I do agree that Snape was a slytherin through and through.
Draco Malfoy being a loud and brash bully makes no sense, he should know better that him being outwardly hostile will punish Slytherin house. But, honestly that can be explained by JK Rowling wanting him to be a bully, but not understanding she gave Slytherin House traits which clash with his characterisation.
Draco would become a social pariah in his house logically if he was so outwardly hostile, costing Slytherin house points. Rowling makes him act so badly, not realizing once again that for him to act so foolishly this makes him look more a Gryffindor than Slytherin. After all, Draco is suppost to be the face we think of when we think of Slytherins, that's how she wrote him.
Rowling wanted him to be a Slytherin bully, loudly badmouthing several powerful people, yet be a member of the so called evil house. It makes no sense, Draco should know better that he's up against a system designed to punish his kind - aka, Slytherin House members.
We Slytherins would never act so stupidly in front of others, we want to present ourselves as calm, composed, and rational individuals to the outside world. We often mature much faster in this world, to know our place in it, and our worth.
That's why so many of us become distant, pessimistic, and weary people. We get hardened from life experiences to be this way, we're often more paranoid of everything. So yeah, JK Rowling wanted to have a cake and eat it too, ignoring our house traits are the polar opposites of how she makes the so called antagonist act.
P.s - sorry for my bad English
I really feel Snape is itself the hero ... everything else is just the context ✌️😂....rip Alan Rickman
It kind of doesn't seem like J.K Rowling understands moral ambiguity.
Thank you for saying THIS. So true!!!
Thank you ! Needed to be said lol. Consider subscribing I’ll have new content coming soon!
lets play a game. how many times can she put hello darkness my old friend in one video
Slytherin and Griffydor Have Similar Things about them Despite the way there presented remember Harry wasnt Brave Unless he had to be
Finally found a video that says what I‘m always thinking☺️
Julini Katze I’m glad you’ve found a kindred spirit. Keep a look out for my Slytherin content coming up very soon!!
You deserve so much more subscribers, I swear. Also, JK Rowling CURSED my CHILDhood
Goddamn it... Take this like
i honestly despised slytherins as a kid. then i took the pottermore quiz. three times. whoops.
I was so shocked when the screen turned green after the quiz, but today I couldn't be happier with my house 💚
I think Peter Pettigrew fully belongs in Griffindor for sheer strength of character, the only thing is that it is solely directed towards self-preservation. Most people in Pettigrew's place would have considered suicide, because such an existence is unbearable to most normal people. Also, getting close to Voldemort to give him the information did require some courage on his part because you cannot break the charm with threats or torture.
Wow ..even my fav character is Snape....I actually watched the Harry Potter series for the 1st time lol...in 2 days . Well I really expected Snape to change sides at the end.....but damn ...the storyline was so amazing ✌️✌️
Random but the only actual reason herimone was sorted into griffin doe was because she asked like harry she said in the book that she was supposed to be in ravenclaw
But like really if I was in the battle of Hogwarts I would not go down to dungeons because of that statement from McGonagall Because she said that we should go down but why should we like we are not bad but because of that I would just have gone upstairs and just fought against them and just join the death eaters because she just said that, can you actually understand what I'm saying because I don't know if it was understandable 😂 (I'm a Slytherin if you didn't know by now 😂😂😂😂😂)
Totally understand your point. Personally, with my slytherin sense of self preservation and McGonagall’s statement, I would’ve just left the whole battle out of spite like bye but he’s fix this yourselves not my problem
If they make another harry potter movie. His son should be the main focus and Slytherin should be the main focus as well with a them being good instead. And instead of it being just about Slytherin they make the 4 main characters be best friends from all different houses. Also i understand why they sent Slytherins to the dungeons. Because they would ve been fighting their parents. Killing their parents.
I don't think that's what Rowling is saying by, 'I think we sort to soon'. I took it more literally and I agree. Sorting children at eleven is very early. This is just or before their bodies are going through all these changes and will be shaping their personalities. Perhaps save the sorting until third or fourth year. Or, if it absolutely has to be in their first; have them spend a week in each common room and interacting with the people of those houses. Sorting them so early, creates the us/them mentality and reinforces like-minded thinking.
How do you not have more subscribers? I'm dumbfounded
Wait. Weren't the Slytherin's not allowed to help in deathly hallows battle? I don't remember!
Yeah bc they thought they would all turn on hogwarts i believe (i migjt be wrong so dont hold me accountable but i think)
I think hagrid would have been a Hufflepuff. He was in the basement when the dark lord came to visit him. Hufflepuff house is in the basement.
Tonks was a hufflepuff, so there's that too, I guess.
Can we please talk about poor Slughorn's mistreatment in Deathly Hallows? The dude basically was the canonically least awful Slytherin showing how those traits can
very well be a good thing and that man is still thrown under the bus regardless of him being The component that thought Harry and Dumbledore the truth about Voldemort
and his horcrux plan. Brah, isn't he technically the head of Slytherin during the period of Snape's Rule? Wasn't he installing any positive influence over his students that'd
help counteract what the Carrows were doing? No. like how Book 5 didn't seem to think a house built on ambition wouldn't have students insulted by Umbrige's regression
in teaching, JK seemed to not had cared for the idea that there'd be any Slytherin's who'd resist the dark side; Slughorn included. Maybe Dumbledore would say he was
sorted 'too soon' and Slughorn should've been in Huffelpuff because of his kindness and work effect. I feel like I'm more or less in the same boat as that.
my thought's more recently on Voldemorte too were sort of like he was totally convinced snape was loyal and he still set the snake on him... That's kind of why he had to be put down.... Ambitions good, but it can be taken way too far.
I think Voldemort definitely believed snape was loyal but like you said ambition got the better of him and in believing snape was the master of the elder wand he had to kill him
Ambition, for those who doesn't have the guts to pursue it, seems like an evil thing.. Slytherin here... 🐍
Snape should be in Hufflepuff because he imprinted onto Lily like a baby duck. He's loyal to Lily to the point of absurdity. And also because I think Snape in Hufflepuff would be very funny
Bravo👏👏👏 i either love Snape) it's been 20 years already, since I first read the 1st book in Russia in 2001))
I'm a slytherin and I'm really REALLY MAD about JK Rowling hating Slytherins
Theres another function that ambition does, it should mean slytherins would be likely to do jobs that need more doing given how supply and demand effects compensation causing high skill jobs with too few workers to be high in the social hierarchy much of the time
Not that I have any objections to it, but why do you have at least three cover additions of the entire series?
Tbh I have seven but that’s because I collect them. I collect copies of other books too and have multiple prints with different covers of those as well
When I read the comment Dumbledore made about Snape being in Gryffindor, I thought Dumbledore was trying to complement Snape. But I thought it was insulting. I also am tired of the flame wars. Everyone is entitled to their favorite character.
I am a proud Slytherin 🐍🐍🐍🐍
I actually have a lot of Ravenclaw traits but I just can't help it, Slytherin is the one I identify with the most and I would not want to be in any other houses. I think Slytherin is very misunderstood. We aren't evil or selfish, nor arrogant. I think most slytherins just have different values than most people or they don't, they just aren't afraid to openly talk about things like wanting fame and understanding that you sometimes have to care about yourself more than about others. They don't "sugarcoat" things. If they don't agree with you, they tell you. If they find you annoying, they tell you. If they think you did something stupid, they tell you. They can be rude or arrogant or even evil, but in the end, nothing is black and white. Dumbledore was a Gryffindor and he was still manipulative af sometimes. But did it make him a Slytherin? of course not. It's just that people are complex.
where did you get your shirt? Slytherin pride!
Amazon I think !
I'm a Hufflepuff, but I sort of agree with you. The qualities of Slytherin can produce both good and bad outcomes as can the qualities of the other houses.
Slytherin always being for Voldemort makes no sense. Even Draco's dad hated Voldemort by the end of the First Wizarding war because he was just a straight up dick. Why do you think he gave 2 shits about bringing him back. Voldemort does not show one of the key traits of Slytherin. Loyalty to friends and Family. He killed his follower for showing concern about him. How can you be ambitious when a guy like that rules the wizarding world.
I was sorted in Slytherin on Pottermore and I despise Voldemort.
I'm a Ravenclaw 💙🦅 .
Snape was an ass. His love wasn't pure it was obsessive. He was a total jerk to Harry just because he looked like his father. Yes I am a Slytherin.
Well James was a jerk just like Harry.
@@morianarnia9356
Snape treats Harry badly from the start, and even if harry turned out to be a jerk, Snape is a teacher and an adult so mistreating a child like that is a total abuse of power
@@Bianca1997lol Voldemort: "So, young Draco. Severus claims to have been on our side all along. What does his behaviour towards Harry Potter, and Dumbledore's other favoured students, seem to suggest to you?"
Malfoy: "He's actually quite nice to them. Treats us all equally, even the mudbloods."
Voldemort: "Interesting..."
They were both jerks
I mean no, snape was an ass and a bully, but his love wasn’t obsessive. Where is it implied it is? His reason for turning against Voldemort can be seen as selfish because he only really cared for her, but he was never ”obsessed”. He left her alone when she wanted to end their friendship, and as far as we know he never spoke to her again. You are allowed to love a married woman, even if it is unrequited. He doesn’t meddle with Lily & James’ relationship. He doesn’t make her a love potion. Him begging voldemort to spare Lily because he didn’t want her to die was not some masterplan to get James out of the picture so that he could get with Lily. He had already lost her trust by then, and I don’t imagine he ever thought she would forgive him. He just wanted her to live.
People throw this word around because they either severely misread Snape’s character, or they use it as a reason to justify their hatred of him. Like, there are already multiple reasons for that already, you don’t have to make EVERYTHING about him ugly. Yes, Snape’s love for Lily does not make him a good person, nor is it enough to redeem him. But why label it as obsessive? I don’t get it..
This girl has maybe the best hair of all time
Today I've found out a very curious and amazing, funny thing)) at one of Russian sites I saw a test "who is your boyfriend in HP?")) And i honestly answered questions - gave answers close to my real life, describing my actual partner) and you know what?!)) My result was "Severus Snape"!))😍🙈
I thought: "Perfect!👌 checkmate, Rowling!"))😎✌
I m Gryffindor who's don't hate Slytherins
I saw that video, it was good.
Snape - Stealthy and cunning. 100% true Slytherin.
Draco - Bully and cowardly. Doesn't belong in Slytherin.
Draco would've done better in a house that would've helped him grow past his flaws and become a better person like house Gryfindor or Hufflepuff.
I agree with what you're saying about these specific characters, but let's be real. They do sort too soon at Hogwarts.
I think that depends how we look at sorting. we don't know if the sorting hat takes into account only what you're like at 11 when it sits on your head, or if it has a way to see what you're like fundamentally as a whole person, as in what you value inherently and will continue to value most as you grow up
My unpopular opinion I would like to see george in ravenclow and fred in slytherin 🤔
i like slytherin and my dream is to be one when i grow up and i go to hogwarts too
I completely understand where your coming from, but it would be unfair to hate H J.K.Rowling because if it wasn’t for her we wouldn’t have any of this
Slytherins in real life aren't that bad , are they ?
Wow I'm starting to hate Rowling...
:D
I hate Snape so much. #RegulusBlackWasTheBestSlytherin
The only reason he joined Dumbledore is because Voldemort was considering Lily Potter. If not, he'd be in Azkaban. End of freaking story.
But he is a Slytherin.
I am the opposite of you! #SNAPEISTHEBEST
That is flat out not how it works. Believe it or not, the HP universe is not real, it's all her imagination. How can you not understand what you created?
"J.K Rowling Doesn't Understand Slytherin" You do understand that she wrote the books including Slytherin, don't you? Why are you saying that she didn't understand what she wrote especially since it's an incredibly massive hit? Harry had to have a rival in the books and JK Rowling chose Slytherin house to be that rival. The rival had to be at least partially evil. This helps the main character's storyline as a hero. It's just that simple.
The point is that she made a mistake associating ambition with evil when lots of "good" characters display the traits that Slytherin values. Heck, Dumbledore is probably the most ambitious and cunning character in the whole franchise, yet he's a Gryffindor simply because he's a good guy. I agree that Harry needed a rival, but that doesn't mean there couldn't be more nuance. Like, the series would be more interesting if Dumbledore and Cedric were Slytherins or if Rowling had gone through with adding the character Mafalda Weasley, a Slytherin. The books even suggest that Slytherin isn't inherently bad, but has simply been corrupted by Voldemort. Yet the books never follow through on that narrative and still put all the unlikeable characters in Slytherin.
Which is just unfair, because the other houses' core traits can also be negative if they're taken to extremes. Bravery can become recklessness, intelligence can breed arrogance and loyalty can lead to dogma.
No offense, I love Snape too, but, when are people gonna realize...Snape is dead
mermaid snake535 ....yes he is.
