I'm a Slytherin and proud of it! Slytherins are just really ambitious and will go to any means to achieve their goals and win!
They're still extremely kind, and their house is more like their giant family~
On Pottermore the Slytherins are the nicest people, they've adopted the Hufflepuff house (The Gryffindors were bullying them D: )
So far, most of the trolls and bullies have actually come from Gryffindor, and one of their key traits has become arrogance. ><
We are also usually neck and neck with the Ravenclaws, and they have over a thousand more members than we do o3o
Why must everybody hate us lovely Slytherins?

I'm a Slytherpuff (yes we do exist) also my best friend is a Slytherin. I do think Slytherin get's a bad reputation but I know if people didn't judge and got to know us they would be pleasantly surprised! I'm in Slytherin in Pottermore add me if you like MoonSickle191.

Woah woah woah slow down on the house worship there.
Have some pride people.
Slytherin is all bad, and we get more than our fair share of hate, but we are not Hufflepuffs (no disrespect intended).
I think it'll suffice to say we aren't all bullies, and death eathers.
We can make for most excellent friends, and individualy can be rather nice people, but aren't put in Slytherin for nothing.

I am a Slytherin and proud to be. We are often judged by the usual prejudices simply because no one seeks to understand us. Our views and values differ from other houses but that doesn't mean we are automaticly evil. Yes, some of us are but not every Slyth is a Death Eater. If you must say one of us is evil it should be due to various acts that prove it and not on reputation alone. We are capable of being respectable, reasonable and upon occasion amiable people should you give us the chance. All we ask is that you know what you're talking about before you open your mouth because we'd be more than happy to shut it for you and make you swallow your words.

"Slytherins are just really ambitious and will go to any means to achieve their goals and win!"

Any means can mean...anything to achieve your goals, from pulling all nighters to backstabbing. I guess looking out for number one isn't exactly something people consider an admiring trait.
Also in the movies and books..all Slytherins are evil, with the exception of Snape, he was just a pr*ck to Harry and company. Remember Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle? Yeah...that's why people are mean to Slytherins.
Also, their colors are green and silver, which I think symbolized evil in the book, like the Killing Curse.

I don't agree with people being mean to you at all, I'm just trying to explain the mentality of...trolls. *facepalm*

I approve. The hell hasn't this happened before?

...

Because, of course, there were only four Slytherins in the entire series.

Seems to me like there was nearly an entire House who spent most of their time not being evil.

You're right about that, but we didn't see the non-evil Slytherins, so that is hardly going to cross anyone's mind...and it didn't help that Slytherins couldn't fight in the Battle of Hogwarts because McGonnagal sent them to the dungeons (at least in the movie)! D:

Crabbe and Goyle were just following Malfoy because they were kind of... Stupid. But Malfoy was misunderstood as well D:
Voldemort threatened his family, and the only way he could survive and make his parents proud was to kill his headmaster.
Also, Merlin was a Slytherin ;3

I don't mind the Slytherins. I am a Hufflepuff myself, but has found myself in a crowd of Slytherin friends, tbh. I feel like if I really went to Hogwarts, I would be more buddy-buddy with the Ravenclaws (as I do like learning quite a bit), but there is nothing wrong with Slytherins.

Having pride in your heritage is not always a bad thing. Being selective isn't always bad either. I'm just glad all of Hogwarts isn't that way.
