[edit] Evil Slythern?

Why do ALL Slytherins have something bad to say about them? Aren't there any good (to the bone) Slytherins? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 90.211.84.250 (talk • contribs) 16:32, 22 April 2009.

Ofcourse not, most of the people from slytherin are dark wizards, they don't know good. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nigell (talk • contribs) 19:57, 22 April 2009.

So every single Slytherin are bad? That's hard to believe. 90.211.84.250 18:20, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Yes, do you know a good slytherin then? Nigell 18:34, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

This issue has been brought up before on Forum:Slytherin House. JKR has twice stated that not all Slytherins are "bad" (first in 2005 and again in 2007). ★ Starstuff ^{(Owl me!)} 09:17, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

From the 2007 J.K.R. Pottercast interview - http://www.accio-quote.org/articles/2007/1224-pottercast-anelli.html

• JN: And how much is it that being sorted into Slytherin is sorted into good guys and bad guys...
• JKR: They're not all bad. I know I've said this before. I think I said it to Emerson - they are not all bad and-- well, far from it, as we know, at the end-- they may have a slightly more highly developed sense of preservation than other people, because-- A part of the final battle that made me smile was Slughorn galloping back with Slytherins. But they've gone off to get reinforcements first, you know what I'm saying? So yes, they came back, they came back to fight. But I'm sure many people would say, well that's common sense, isn't it? Isn't that smart, to get out, get more people and come back with them? It's the old saying, there is no truth, there are only points of view.

Seriously. The idea that an entire group would be evil is the same logic that the Death Eaters used on the muggle/muggle borns. -_- TehHock 00:23, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

really if you think about it they arn't all evil. many just have been surronded by bad influenses, i.e draco malfoy —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.227.201.12 (talk • contribs) 18:23, 23 July 2009.
