The house was founded by Salazar Slytherin and the head of House is Severus Snape in virtually all of the books. In the seventh book, Horace Slughorn, the old Potions master and previous Head of House came out of retirement and reassumed authority of Slytherin house.

Slytherin house ghost is “The Bloody Baron.” Slytherin roughly corresponds to the water element. The house common room and dormitories are accessed through the dungeons and bare stone wall. Their common room is long and low, a dungeon style and located under the lake at Hogwarts. It is furnished with carved chairs and green lamps. The description of the room in the 7th book was described as emanating a greenish glow.

Although it was not mentioned until the 5th Harry Potter book, blood purity is a major factor for Slytherin house members according to the Sorting Hat. This does does not mean that Muggles are not placed in this house but more so that pure blood is more desirable. There are examples that half bloods have been placed into this house, like Voldemort and Professor Snape.

Some Snatchers in the Deathly Hallows claimed that “not many Mudbloods” were placed into Slytherin house, but this suggests that Slytherin Muggle borns might not be common but are also not unknown.

Voldemort, believing Harry Potter was dead and that he was nearing his final victory, proclaimed that he would dissolve and abolish all other houses except Slytherin, thereby housing all Hogwarts student under Slytherin. This plan was stopped with his death and defeat, after, the blood purity of Slytherin became more diluted. It’s reputation for darkness lingers but it is no longer the pure-blood bastion that it once was.

Be darkly mysterious with your own Slytherin costume.
