Slytherin

: "Or perhaps in Slytherin,
: 
: You'll make your real friends,
: 
: Those cunning folk use any means,
: 
: To achieve their ends."
: -The Sorting Hat
: Slytherin is one of the four Houses at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Founded by Salazar Slytherin, the house is composed mostly of pure-blood students, due to its founder's mistrust of Muggle-borns. The house is traditionally home to students who exhibit such traits as cunning, resourcefulness, and ambition. Its emblematic animal is a snake and its colours are green and silver. The house ghost is the Bloody Baron and its gem is the emerald.
: Slytherin corresponds roughly with the element of water with serpents being commonly associated with the sea .  The colours also correspond with waters around lakes and lochs often being green, and silver being often associated with grey rain water.
== Qualities ==
Slytherins tend to be ambitious, shrewd, cunning, strong leaders, and achievement-oriented. They also have highly developed senses of self-preservation. This means that Slytherins tend to hesitate before acting, so as to weigh all possible outcomes before deciding exactly what should be done.
This in no way makes them "mean" or "ruthless". Matter of fact, it makes them an important part of everyday the Harry Potter world. It is a well known fact that Slytherins and Hufflepuffs would make great allies. As most Hufflepuffs are Muggleborns, this repels the fascist idea that all Slytherins are rude to wizards with such blood purity.
== Common room ==
The Slytherin common room is in the dungeons of Hogwarts Castle and underneath the Black Lake. Because of this, the light in the common room is green. To enter the Slytherin common room one must merely speak aloud the current password in front of a stretch of damp stone wall; once the word is uttered a concealed stone door will slide aside leaving a rectangular hole in the wall leading to the Slytherin common room. The only known Slytherin password is "pureblood", used in 1992.
