>>Now, I honestly can't remember if J. K. Rowling ever made any reference to what house Lily was in, but I know she mentioned James being a Gryffindor. What do you suppose is the likelihood of Lily Potter, former Head Girl at Hogwarts, one of the people who resisted Voldemort the longest, and who eventually died to save her baby son, being a Slytherin?<<

Okay while Lily's house has never been mentioned I don't see why she couldn't have been a Slytherin. My God I know they're not portrayed that well in the books but if every single wizard and witch who had that house was evil wouldn't the world have fallen to Voldemort's rule years ago?

I have a soft spot for the Slytherins mainly because they get such a raw deal.

They're not all evil, but they do tend to all be a bit mean and petty. I haven't come across any mention in the books of any Slytherins you'd particularly describe as nice or likeable, even when they aren't as nasty as, say, the Malfoy family.

Well the book is told from a Gryffindors POV, so I don't think we're really getting an honest look at the Slytherins.

Harry doesn't really like them, so they won't be portrayed in the best light.

In book 4 I recall Ron hissing at some poor first year simply because he was in Slytherin. I mean the kid didn't DO anything and he's already taking crap because of his house.

And wasn't Pettigrew a Gryffindor?

As I recall, the founder of Slytherin was himself not at all a nice fellow, and would choose people like himself to be in his House. But for the most part, point ceded. I will try to be nicer to the Slytherins in the future.

I still don't think Lily was one, though.

Wow. Even I'm not geeky enough to do that much analysis. I bow before the supperior Potter geek. ^_^

Hufflepuffs rock, indeed!

Hufflepuffs do indeed rock (anyone ever seen a Hufflepuff Sue?) but I'm pretty sure that Rowling's been quoted as saying that Lily was definitely in Gryffindor.

"What the HELL is a Hufflepuff?"

Well... iczer6 April 22 2003, 18:58:18 UTC

In my opinion, I've always envisioned Lily to be more of a Ravenclaw type.... the different heads of houses tend to portray the strengths that their students have, and Lily, from what her wand tells us, was good at Charms. This seems like a bit of a weak argument, sure... after all, Hermione is good at Tranfiguration, but she's good at everything. Draco is good at Potions, though, and the Hufflepuffs always seem to be strutting their stuff in Herbology with the Gryffindors.

Meh. Just a thought.
