Slytherin House

Slytherin House is one of the four houses at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter" series. Founded by Salazar Slytherin, it values ambition, cunning, resourcefulness, and a strong sense of self-preservation. Its emblematic animal is the serpent, and its colors are green and silver. Slytherins are known for their strong leadership qualities and desire for power, though they may be viewed as sneaky or ruthless. Famous Slytherins include Severus Snape and Draco Malfoy. The house often emphasizes the importance of blood purity, which has led to its controversial reputation within the wizarding world.
