What would happen if Harry Potter was in Slytherin?
If he’d been in Slytherin, though, it’s likely Harry would have a completely different group of friends who liked him more because of his history with Voldemort (or because he could have become the next Voldemort), or who just liked him because he was the rich, athletic Chosen One.
Could Harry have been a Slytherin?
Harry Potter came very close to being sorted into Slytherin before he persuaded the Hat to sort him into Gryffindor. But Harry did share some Slytherin traits: he was ambitious and cunning, always sneaking around after hours and cooking up plans with Ron and Hermione. His green eyes even match the house.
What if Harry ended up in Slytherin?
Plot-wise, having Harry be in Slytherin would have resulted in Dumbledore being much more aware of his connection to Voldemort. Harry’s determination to face Voldemort wouldn’t have changed if he had been in Slytherin because it wouldn’t have changed the fact that Voldemort killed his parents.
Does Slytherin accept Muggle borns?
The “welcome to Slytherin” letter which Rowling put on Pottermore a couple of years ago says that nowadays there are a lot of Slytherins with “at least” one Muggle parent. That implies that there are now some Muggle-born Slytherins but they are still fairly rare: they don’t qualify as “a lot of” on their own.
Why was Harry sorting into Slytherin after all?
He’d Realize Not All Slytherins are Evil Going through this existential crisis might make Harry consider why he was sorted into Slytherin after all and why not all of his Slytherin friends are complete jerks like he imagined they would be.
Would Snape have treated Harry better if he had been in Slytherin?
Snape treated Harry and the other students at Hogwarts terribly for many controversial reasons that could be discussed at length in the Harry Potter fandom. It’s difficult to say, though, whether he would treat Harry better or worse if he had been in Slytherin.
What does Draco Malfoy see in Harry Potter?
He sees in Harry a sort of mirror image of himself and it’s no accident that he initially offers Potter the chance to be his friend in Sorcerer’s Stone. It’s only because Malfoy is rude to Ron that he decides on the spot that he’s not the kind of person he’d like to associate himself with.
Do all Slytherins join the Dark Lord?
They are invited to join the battle against evil, but all leave Hogwarts and seemingly join Voldemort (as he tells Lucius Malfoy himself). The only Slytherins who seem to fight the Dark Lord notably are Professors Snape and Slughorn – and one is in secret.
