At least young Snape thought it possible:
„
"You'd better be in Slytherin," said Snape, encouraged that she had brightened a little.
"Slytherin?"
One of the boys sharing the compartment, who had shown no interest at all in Lily or Snape until that point, looked around at the word, and Harry, whose attention had been focused entirely on the two beside the window, saw his father: slight, black-haired like Snape, but with that indefinable air of having been well-cared-for, even adored, that Snape so conspicuously lacked.“
That only works if you really believe snape/Lily actually happened. If you think very very hard...no.
Since they’ve just come to a world in which they know nothing and no one, to be able to fit in and adjust to their new surrounding would require a great deal of cunning and ambition to achieve successfully.
It’s honestly just the fact that Salazar himself had a personal vendetta that means history turned out the way it did. From the attributes that the other two houses save Hufflepuff want, you could easily make an argument that courage or a thirst for knowledge also lead people down the path of being a dark wizard.
There’s honestly nothing exclusive about Slytherin which means they should be solely the “dark” house, except for the fact that Rowling wrote it that way, to my eternal frustration.
So no, anyone of any background can join any house - and be judged by their peers in any way; except Hufflepuff where everyone’s welcome.
Fitting two criteria, cunning and ambition (which I agree a muggle-born would) does not qualify you for Slytherin if you don't have the third, your blood status.
Besides, I'm pretty sure houses are sorted based on the attributes that you value most, not that you have (eg Peter Pettigrew: absolutely a coward, but valued bravery; Lupin and Hermione: smart enough for Ravenclaw but value courage more). A muggle-born who believes in pure-blood superiority sounds less likely than the plot of the Cursed Child.
The criteria for any house aren't what the students believe, but what the founder believed.
@@edwardlewis1119 Yes, but the criteria for pureblood status was added in because Rowling wanted that to be Slytherin when that could easily have been Gryffindor or Ravenclaw saying they wanted blood purity in their houses, either on their own or in conjunction with Slytherin.
My overall point is that there's no real reason why Slytherin should have such a rule as, for an ambitious person, it's shooting himself in the foot to have his House limited in that way, besides the fact that from a meta-narrative, it makes some degree of sense that Harry's enemy House would be the one with all the bad guys in it with the Nazi beliefs but in a realistic, fleshed-out world, Slytherin would have been the second most unlikely to have such a rule and.
@@Longshanks1690 I agree there's no reason for Rowling to have made the decision for Salazar specifically to hate pure-bloods, the fact is she did. Therefore, as she is the writer and can make anything happen in the world of Harry Potter whether we like it or not, it is Harry Potter official canon that Slytherin wanted pure-bloods in his house.
What i hate mostly in cannan is that rowling wrote it in black and white, evil and good, dark and light mostly
I could see a Hufflepuff 'dark wizard' being possible, something along the lines of a populist rhetorician, one of those 'for the children' type of demagogues who make point to be for inclusion and temperance, but still are dangerously zealous. Sure, 'everyone's welcome', but add the caveat that 'everyone should fit in', even if they have to make it so by any means necessary. For the greater good, so to speak.
To use most prominent canon examples, Ernie Macmillan (before he wised up) was well on his way to stirring up resentments and stoking fears in "Chamber of Secrets" when Harry was suspected of being Slytherin's heir. Zacharias Smith was very much a selfish little toe-rag, so being in the house renown for loyalty and hard-work doesn't actually mean you're exempt from douchebaggery. And on a practical level, Cedric Diggory was very skilled and charismatic, so the house could certainly produce greatness even in Harry's era when Hufflepuff was widely regarded as 'full o' duffers'.
Salazar Slytherin wouldn't have wanted muggleborns in his house. But he also wouldn't have wanted half-bloods, and we KNOW the sorting hat overrode his wishes with regard to that. (Tom Riddle is the obvious example.) So I don't see why it couldn't also override his wishes when it came to muggleborns.
I don't think the sorting hat specifically considered Salazar Slytherin's feelings when deciding who should be sorted into Slytherin, Godric Griffindor's feelings when deciding who should be sorted into Griffindor, etc. Rather, I think it distilled the wisdom of ALL FOUR FOUNDERS when making each sorting decision. So when deciding where to sort a muggleborn, the hat would have considered Salazar Slytherin's viewpoint, but not only his viewpoint.
Do you still love Harry Potter?
Yes!!!!
After all this time?
*Always!!!!*
I think the Sorting Hat would consider how the other Slytherins would receive a muggleborn, and put that student somewhere... safer.
That one Slytherin muggleborn would probably be bullied as fuck. The half-bloods will obviously side with the pure-bloods because they're the overwhelming majority. They'd have to be extremely powerful even as children or extremely cunning/charming/manipulative to survive there. Meaning they'd need all the other traits overloaded to 11 to make up for the lack of magical blood to be picked and then on top of that survive.
I think the halfbloods are the overwhelming majority, at least in Harry's time.
@@carmensavu5122 I meant in Slytherin in particular. I think Snape, Umbridge and Voldemort are the only halfblood slytherins we've met in the story no?
I dont think the muggleborns deserve the treatment they would get for being in slytherin.
Of course they don't! Blood-Purity is rubbish, it's what's inside that counts.
I think if a Muggleborn student possesses the other characteristics of Slytherin such as ambition, cunning and resourcefulness then they should be given the choice, like Harry is given the choice to choose Gryffindor over Slytherin. The Sorting Hat could say you have the qualities of Slytherin but be aware that as one of the first Muggleborn students you are likely to be subjected to prejudice and then it's on the student if they wish to take on that baggage.
If you were an ambitious or talented enough half blood you were allowed in as is proven by Voldemort being accepted and Harry being offered the choice to join Slytherin. This is despite the fact that both Harry and Voldemort were Muggle raised, so even though they came from magical parentage, they had grown up outside of wizarding society. If you were to follow Salazar's reasoning of not trusting anyone that came from the Muggle world, you wouldn't want them mixing with Purebloods charged with defending wizardkind. But you can't uphold beliefs from 1000 years ago when society had long evolved beyond Muggles trying to hunt wizards to extinction. So I think if you have the other qualities of a Slytherin,you should be offered a place, even if you are Muggleborn.
Furthermore I think being sorted into Slytherin after the Second Wizarding War and the defeat of Voldemort would be very different to being sorted during Harry's time at school. Even after Voldemort's defeat in Godric's Hollow, Pureblood supremacists such as the Malfoys were still greatly influential in wizarding society and a lot of the Slytherins of that generation were still raised with anti-Muggle/Muggleborn beliefs.
The aftermath of the Second Wizarding War seemed to bring about a change in attitude in a lot of Pureblood families, which is shown by the conflict between Astoria and Narcissa. With Narcissa and Lucius wanting Scorpius to be raised in the old ways and Astoria insisting on raising Scorpius to be more tolerant. Something Draco too agreed with after his own experiences as a Death Eater. There would still be prejudice by some in Slytherin but I would think those would be in the minority after Voldemort's defeat and that Slytherin would become a more tolerant place.
I mean in my opinion one of the worst wizards, morally came from griffindor. That being wormtail, however the bullying that would come from other Slytherin students I think it wouldn't be fair for muggle-borns to be sorted there
It’s also ironic that The heir of slytherin is a halfblood;)
Yeh
I wrote a comment on this yesterday😂 he must have hated tom being his true heir😂😂😂
Half blood not muggle born so even if it is just half that half is still his descendent
@@ellessiricketts3280 He was ok with halfbloods as long as they despised their muggle side. So, no.
I can just image Salazar with his hands in his head saying “ah man.. a halfblooded…fine… he’ll have to do i guess”😂
I still want to know how Tom Riddle found the Chamber of Secrets when he was still at school?
Rowling wants to know how riddle found the chamber of secrets too. LOL. Ask Skeeter. Aka it's a plot hole.
Speaking of Muggleborn... there is a book series by Katherine Kurtz (The Deryni series) which could explain the situation. Without giving too many spoilers, in this book series at one point the "magic using" people in the series discovered a way to suppressed the abilities and memories in an effort to ensure the survival of it's race from the genocide that was occuring. But then, sometimes generations later a person would start to exhibit magical aptitudes or could even have their full latent powers unlocked. This may explain muggleborns appearing with magical abilities, they come from a magical family, that for reasons long forgotten (say that to hide from prosecution and death like the Deryni did) suppressed it. But, every so often it emerges in a supposedly totally non-magical family. Thus, half-blood or a similar term is the probably the best definition since mudbloods / muggleborns don't truly exist... with that said they probably would not fit in with the Slytherin house of purity.
I agree they would not be put there because it goes against the houses founder. But it's also not true that all evil comes from Slytherin. There have been several from other houses. It doesn't matter if times change, the sorting hat wouldn't go against the wizards values
It's difficult to judge what it might have been like at different times but as the books show it I don't think it would be safe for a muggle-born in Slytherin. If the hat had put Lily Evans in Slytherin regardless of how ambitious she may have been it would have been unsafe for her, and in my opinion immoral of the hat. Lily was told by the only person that she knew who was magical that she should be in Slytherin and she had seen nothing positive about Gryffindor after having a bad first impression of James Potter and Sirius Black. If any muggle-born was likely to ask to be in Slytherin or want to be in Slytherin it was her - and yet she wasn't - that could be a matter of values - or maybe the hat told her a bit more about what Slytherin was really like. I would go so far as to say Slytherin doesn't deserve muggleborns.
As a pureblood slytherin, muggleborns are welcome♥️
Agreed
Fun Fact: in pottermore/wizarding world, when you get sorted in slytherin, you get a message from Gemma Farley, a slytherin prefect.
In the message she mentions how nowdays you'll find plenty of slytherins with at least one muggle parent.
So we can conclude that in modern days, as the times have changed, there are some muggle born slytherins.
I am a half-blood slytherin and I think that Muggle-borns deserve to be welcomed
Keep it up man love your videos
What muggle born would want to BE in Slytherin? That’s the question
Voldemort had a filthy muggleborn father. No need to ban the house from muggle borns, if they don't want to go there the hat listens. It takes what you want into account.
@@_zombie_queen_ Voldemort’s father was a muggle, period.
Half bloods, at the very least, seem to be okay as long as they share Salazar Slytherin's worldviews.
Perhaps a muggle born COULD share those world views, maybe in some kind of Clayton Bigsby type scenario where they are adopted into a wizarding family at an early age just never knowing if their true muggle heritage.
When Tom Riddle first arrived at Hogwarts everyone probably thought that he was a muggle born since he was raised in a muggle orphanage. After he was placed in Slytherin and everyone was shocked that a muggle born was sorted into Slytherin he went to research his background to see if he had a magical parent. Though a muggle born could be a direct descendent of Salazar Slytherin though a long ago ancestor. Martha Sayre was a direct descendent of Salazar Slytherin and a squib so any of her descendants could be a so called muggle born witch or wizard. We could have been introduced to a couple of no majs in the first Fantastic Beasts film where could have been direct descendants of Salazar Slytherin through Martha Sayre. Henry and Langdon Shaw could have been descended from Salazar Slytherin and Langdon could be the writer who gets killed while writing a book about mixed marriages between witches and mortals (no majs) with Jacob giving him the idea for that story line as a way to get Queenie back from Grindelwald's side.
Him: All the bad guys come from Slytherin
Us Slytherins: Ummmmmm
Its mostly true though
@@tijn0236 it’s still dumb.
I love your channel name i hope rowling confirms it
@@withrowjeanette5787 Thanks, Same, seriously though, that would be amazing🤩
@@Ghfjjctunhh ikr!!!
2:06 From now on, I’m going to imagine that “Good old Sal” was Godric Gryffindor’s nickname for Salazar Slytherin.
Can you make a video about "What would happen if Voldemort chose to kill Neville Longbottom on October 30th, 1981?
How you feelin dean? Can’t wait for you talk about real life folklore!
P.S when you talk about real life folklore could you also talk about why’s to beat them? It’s something I haven’t seen in other folklore channels so if your lookin for something new that make you stand out it’s this
I think the heads of houses could have the power to adjust the requirements of the hats, and I like to think Slughorn 'redeems' himself by using this ability to alter the acceptance policy in Slytherin, and actively tries to teach acceptance within his house. Everyone on both sides of the war experienced loss and realising that harmony is better achieved together, so I think once Hogwarts rebuilt there would be a larger focus on teaching muggleborn acceptance, perhaps even making Muggle studies a compulsory class (instead of blood purists getting taught things at home, and not being able to learn about Muggles in an unbias way.
great video as always and this was been on my mind for ages. Things change, but I still think the views of Slytherin will never change.
HIIIII SHOCK WAVE I LUV UR VIDS I SUBBED TY FOR GOOD CONTENT!!!
I'm not sure if it's possible to determine based on information from the canon whether Slytherin was prejudiced towards muggle borns and seeing them as inferior beings similar to let's say Malfoys and Bellatrix or he was just afraid of accepting muggle borns due to the historical circumstances and fear of muggle borns giving away the secrets of wizards putting them at risk of death. If it was the latter, it shouldn't be assumed that muggle borns don't have a place in Slytherin due to its founder's legacy, because the threat is no longer there in modern times.
What would happen to a muggle born that somehow ended up in Slytherin.
Usually bullying will happen 🤐🤐🤐
i have a feeling 2021 slytherin would be way more tolerant towards muggleborns, alot have probs changed since voldemort died lol
@@ryth9121 it's up to the hat. So it would never happen. The whole point of the hat is to sort the same way the founders would have
@@michellestella7477 by 2021 slytherin i was talking about the student body for the house lol.
@@michellestella7477 But there have been muggleborn slytherins, the hat still sorted them there.
A muggleborn wizard is just a new wizarding bloodline. So if they fit the other slytherin requirements then sure they should be allowed. But if we are basing it off of just being born from two wizarding parents then a squib has the requirements to fit into slytherin (obviously thats not the only requirement, but roll with it). So in the end if an extremly magical wizard comes through even though they are muggleborn why would you not want them in your house?
thats like asking why white people were considered for jobs more then black people when the black person was more skilled in the 1900s...
A Very Good Video 👍🏻
If Tom Riddle had been muggleborn instead of a half-blood. Would he have been in Slytherin? Someone who hates muggles because he's different from them.
Good question. I think the answer is No. Slytherin only took pure bloods & 1/2 bloods. No Muggles allowed.
Really think there are psychopaths in other houses... Ron's line about all bad witch/wizard are from Slytherin is assuming only one wizard school.
Pretty sure he'd be Raven claw.
I Honestly think if salazar could see the current muggle and magical relations. He would rewrite the hat and make it so all are welcome. My theory is that salazar didnt hate muggleborns outright and most of the heated arguments were primarily caused by the safety of the students. I think the basilisk was to never be used unless the muggleborns told where Hogwarts was and set about the schools destruction. Salazar thinking that the basilisk was a half measure only a pure blood witch or wizard would know what harms such a creature.
Just the opposite. His compromise would be mud bloods can live in a wizard safe town but never get schooling and they either marry a half blood or pure blood or get castrated neutered.
If Salazar was a ghost and saw how people have changed, he might as well. But if he's still the same, then that means he's not just a pureblood supremist but a wizarding supremist (anti-muggle/no-maj and doesn't look at blood status). I've said before that the hat should b altered of deleting the pureblood heritage trait so muggleborns can join. In like 300 years things will change in where people don't care about that anymore. Thus a brighter future is on the horizon.
Very interesting video,I agree with you
I don't understand why muggleborns are being look down upon. If I was one I'm definitely be proud not being a product of generational incest 🤮
your basically asking why racist people are racist... they just are
How does the sorting hat knows you blood status? If it s based on mind reading and memorie.. What if one was an oprhan and has no memory of his or her parents, and they live în the muggle world
I think instead of muggle born RIGHTS to Slytherin, you should look at it as muggle born SAFTEY in Slytherin. As a black woman, there are plenty of places that I can’t go for my safety even though I legally have the right. I think even if they were allowed, they wouldn’t wanna be there for long. Also despite living in the 1990s and early 2000s, I had to literally integrate my first school, we were stuck in the basement in the boiler room, the heat was on in summer n not on in winter. I hated it and eventually left. (I ended up being the only poc in a few other places too but this was the biggy).
What would Salazar think of the Modern Wizarding World then?
He would be very confused because he was from a different time when muggles oppressed wizards. He would also not like the secrecy. He might try to expose the world and make wizards the higher race
I think he would see the whole secrecy like a prison. He would think "why do my race had to go in hiding"
Thank u Dean, I like ur voice
The weasleys cousin is a muggleborn born from a squib father and muggle mother. I guess that means only someone like she can get in
Actually, she’s a half-blood, because her Squib father came from a wizarding family.
@@sirrichardtremaine25 oh I thought when 2 squibs and a squib and muggle have a baby it's a muggleborn
But wouldn't all muggle-borns be half-bloods then? Rowling has stated that muggle-borns were descended from Squibs. The magic gene had to come from somewhere, and we know that muggles can't steal magic because as Ron pointed out in the seventh book, there wouldn't be any Squibs in the world.
No views, 19 likes, 8 comments...ok who left the firewhisky out?
Okay, but there's quite some half-blood slytherins. So why did they get in? I mean, in the founders eyes they're the same.
no he thinks that half bloods arent as bad but if he didnt let them in there wouldnt be many slytherins left
I kinda want to see modern day witch hunters in the HP universe. Maybe even under the employ of the MoM, using magical gadgets and modern technological weapons. A sniper bullet to the head will kill an unaware wizard just fine. You can't use a shield charm against something you don't see coming.
no shit if you AKd someone from behind they wouldnt be able to react either, if they are really that important theyd just have shields up at all times
As a Slytherin, I welcome the muggleborns.
Wow. 🤯
Associating with muggles.
@@hangeishot7919 - To be fair, realistically I most likely wouldn’t actually be accepted into Slytherin due to my disability.
I am deeply disappointed in you. You filthy blood traitor😒
I’m also a slitheren and I do not agree filthy mudbloods
In the Pottermore Quiz, I’m a muggle slytherin. It’s Modern Wizarding World now not the Old Wizarding World.
If there's a way to modify the Sorting Hat so that the pureblood criteria is gone, then I suppose they could change it
Pretty much the only way to have this happen
Substitute Muggleborn with African American and substitute Slytherin with Augusta National Country Club. If things were done one way forever, because “that’s the way it’s always been done” or because “that’s how the founder wanted it”, there would be no change, no diversity of thought.
I am in Slytherin and if Salazar can have half blood students (E.g. Tom Riddle and Severous Snape), I can say that Muggleborns could be in Slytherin under exceptional circumstances.
I agree with Salazar's concern with the Muggle persecution against Wizards and Witches and the need to have little or no contact with the Muggles for the safety of his charges.
However, the world does change and many ideas used among Muggles does originate from the Wizardling world and since they can't use magic, they make up with technology and Muggles are starting to come to the idea of coexistence with Wizards without revealing the Wizardling world to them.
As an Ancient Egyptian Wizard Scarab had stated that Technology is also a form of Magic (Mummies Alive).
Can u do a video on what life for a muggleborn Slytherin. Would they ever make friends, will they always be bullied
And just how much harassment that muggle born Slytherin would get
Slytherins already bully muggle borns outside their house, it wouldn't get better if they were in the house
Ravenclaw here, just thought I'd weigh in.
Nowhere in recorded history is there any case of any muggle-born being sorted into slytherin. Ever. In fact, I'm sure if such a case WERE to happen, the reigning headmaster/headmistress would actually ask the hat to put them into a different house as Ron said in the half blood prince movie, "[its just a hat]." I have zero doubt in my mind that the heads of the other houses would gladly take muggle born students. They'd probably be asked to eat at the slytherin table for that feast and the reigning head of slytherin house would summon them to the headmasters office for a resorting. It's like you said. Every house has its traditions and must stand behind them. I have a feeling if there was even a SINGLE muggle born slytherin, WHY WERENT THEY NAMED IN HOGWARTS A HISTORY??? You know, the book that Hermione carried around and read like the damn Bible through half her school years??? If a muggle born slytherin came up you'd think she'd have named-dropped it cuz... you know... SHES MUGGLE BORN!!!
Imo, it's their house, their rules....but they would eventually die out as a house. There's only so many pure blood wizards, if the don't introduce "new blood" they won't last...its genetics🤷♀️
But Slytherin had no problem accepting half blood so no the house will never die
muggleborn+muggleborn=half blood, this half blood+ anither half blood coming from 2 muggleborns/1 and 1 M and HB, that would basically be pure, if it isnt, 1 mroe generation and it is, PB doesnt care about your great great gran, new blood has always been a thing
Why do I feel like I’ve watched this video before? I feel like I know the video word for word. Has this been posted before?
What if voldemort tried killing harry with a knife or other muggle weapon. Would voldemort have succeeded or died due to the love charm?
well how about just replacing the house with a house similar that suits the modern age and that can grow with the times
First thought that the sorting hat had for Harry was slytherin
What house do you prefer?
1. The argument that we should respect the founder's (Slytherin) intentions is very flawed. If we followed that logic it would mean we should also respect the intentions of America's founders who codified slavery by counting a slave as 3/5 a man in its constitution. MLK Jr. said, "the arc of the moral universe is long but it bends toward justice." Things can, do and should change. We're all beneficiaries of that change. 2. The argument that we'd be protecting the muggles from bullying and such is no different from the "separate but equal" argument used to keep Blacks from white society in the Jim Crow era pre-1960s. "They just won't fit into white society." "We're actually protecting them." "It's unnatural for races to mix." etc. By keeping muggles out of Slytherin you are perpetuating elitism, separation and discrimination just like society did in the Jim Crow era. The best medicine would be to force mixing and end the pure blood mania once and for all.
What about the muggleborns, whose own parents reject them hurt them because they have magic? What if that child gets to hate every muggle and does not want to belong there anymore, like reject their muggle family and heritage, turns totally against them because in the first place their family turned against. Would such a mugleborn be accepted by Slytherin?
I'm curious about how a magical version of ChatGPT would function in the world of Harry Potter. Would it be a talking book, a magical portrait, or perhaps something completely different? How do you think wizards and witches would interact with it?"
Lord Slytherin didn't want muggleborns to be taught at Hogwarts, period. However, in his day magical people were being killed as heretics. That being said, if a muggleborn student meshes the best with the qualities of Slytherin House, then I do believe that they should be sorted there.
Yes you're right. Like I said though maybe someday there will be half blood strong enough wizard to make the change if the pure blood thing becomes totally irrelevant.. After all The house shouldn't stagnate its founder wouldn't have wanted that even if he couldn't predict what way things would go in his time period For now there is no place for the muggle born. Will it stay that way? Who knows
This is what i think before i watch the videos!
I feel like muggleborns could be true slythins, BUT I feel like they will never get sorted there because of slytherin hate for them, making it where they can never be stored into it.
You make a good argument about banning them. One of your points is that all the founders of Hogwarts had a say in spellwork in making the sorting hat. I think the bigger question is, does the sorting hat learn and update accordingly? If not, then great! Go on with business as usual. If, however, it does, then obsolescence of concepts both moral and academic are updated and the criteria must change to reflect said changes. I would argue that the sorting hat must be able to change and update as laws are added and laws are changed. Even the Headmaster changes the rules to reflect their philosophy. Just like the TriWizard Cup, the rules governing it has to be able to be changed. Because of this, a half-blood and full muggle-born can indeed become a Slytherin.
You can be muggle born and still have a heart for the dark side and purity of blood.
Not "good" enough for Salazar Slytherin, therefore not "good" enough for the sorting hat
If a Muggle-Born fits the criteria for Slytherin, let them join
But isn't one of the criteria be a half blood or purer?
@@tijn0236 no, cunning and ambition
If you change the rules of acceptance of Slytherin then perhaps it might be possible
(But it will take time for the change to adjust)
@@macwelch8599 but they will NEVER fit the criteria. The most important one. the founder didn't want to accept muggleborns in hogwarts because he thought they were untrustworthy and not worthy of being taught magic in the first place. That's the main reason he got in a fight with Gryffindor and then left the school.
*The hat is supposed to honor those wishes* , so no muggleborns have ever been sorted into Slytherin.
If the whole point of the hat, is to continue sorting after the founders deaths, the same way they would have, why would the hat disregard Slytherin's biggest wish?! That doesn't make sense
@@michellestella7477 Exactly, I was looking for someone to make that point.
Yeah Hey you're right. At the end of the day the hat goes on what it was instructed to go on And that's just the way it is since the sun was already turned around to change it. What about half blood so? They are a lot more common now and a bit of a Gray area. As a matter of fact we know of one with separate a snape.. After all if something doesn't change it dies and it would be very sad for slithering house to die to stagnate. Maybe half bloods are the reason it won't maybe someday there will be a great enough one to actually make the change if the society does.
The thing is though, what if a muggleborn didn't know they were muggleborn instead of half or more? What if there was a rare case where a wizard child was discovered, only for them to be an orphan like Voldemort was. Apparently he knew he was halfblood when he came to the school after Dumbledore found him, since even though he was just a small baby he had a known identity when sent to the orphanage. Now also there are some wizard families in the world that don't live in wizard towns & know a lot of people like themselves, are more loners. It's possible a couple could end up dying in an accident while traveling with an infant, & if found by muggles who couldn't identify the parents due to no id's or other clues on the bodies, the baby would be put in muggle care & no one in the wizard world know it happened. So since it's possible for a pureblood to be raised by muggles without knowing, any time a foundling of unknown origin raised by muggles turns out to be magical & gets brought to magic school without their lineage being discovered, then there is no way the hat can know if they are pureblood, halfblood or muggleborn. While being pureblood is least likely statistically since it's not likely purebloods would be traveling among muggles alone, it's not impossible since clearly there are purebloods that choose to be open to associating with & marrying muggles while also adhering to the secrecy laws (like Tonks' mom). In the case of unknown blood status, the hat can't exclude them from Slytherin based on blood status & can only judge by the other factors. If they were then chosen for Slytherin by the hat, then would they be fully accepted by the others & assumed to be halfblood at least like known Slytherin halfbloods like Snape & Voldemort? Likely there would still be some who bullied them & point out the higher possibility of being muggleborn than not, but I think not all or even most Slytherin students would in current times.
Their are 3 other amazing houses that would be great for any muggleborn. Slytherin has its values, also muggleborns would most likely get bullies.
Okay so Harry Potter basically teaches us that prejudice is justified but should come to an end even though that end is usually one side winning and one side losing
I agree with you , i am a Slytherin too 🐍
Dumbledore and the Magic of Ministry could have at least tried to abolish the blood status requirement for Slytherin house. Take it to a public vote. Then abide by the results of that vote. If the requirement was abolished then Dumbledore and Prof Flitwick could use their combined magic to "reprogram" the sorting hat.
I wanted to ask this question it's about Rubeus Hagrid what house was he in someone told me Hufflepuff and another person told me Gryffindor but in the book Tom Riddle said monsters don't make good pets Hagrid he even told Harry that Hagrid was hiding werewolf Cubs under his bed and even hacker himself said better than Slytherin to Harry when Harry asks what house he was going to be in so I'm thinking that Hagrid was in Slytherin
He's a Gryffindor, ig jk confirmed, but when you search it shows Gryffindor at reliable sites.
@@Cat_tiee okay thanks
why did this channel change name?
But how to get the Sorting Hat to go along with such a proposition?
Besides, one of the best (or worst) known members of the House was a half-blood: Tom Riddle, aka Lord Voldemort.
Dumbledore and Prof Flitwick would have to use their combined knowledge and magic to "reprogram" the sorting hat. Remember Flitwick is the resident charms master.
They should make movies about the wars
Could a half-breed be in slytherin, like a partial veela, dhampire, cambion be in slytherin?
Is a haft blood which means he has muggle percentage
One cannot determine who will be born with certain traits that are not already prevalent in one's family line..... eyes color, hair color, height, skin color, facial features. The same can be said regarding who in the muggle world -- wealthy, poor, intelligent, gifted, or less so, will be blessed with magic.
Knowing this, what personal social traits or ideologies candidates have, or were instilled with, will determine which Hogwarts House will best suit them. A wealthy, arrogant, ambitious, elitist-minded first year Hogwarts student may be a perfect candidate for Slytherin house, but knowing all that, would the Sorting Hat choose Slytherin for them or another house, depending on all Salazar Slytherin's criteria of what a Slytherin should be?
Just because halfbloods and muggle borns were few and far between could have been accepted into slytherin. Even if slytherin were against it. No matter if slytherin failed to expect it, even if slytherin were also hipacritical about. It would only seem fair enough to accept halfbloods and muggleborns.
Muggle-Borns can be in Slytherin. Why? Pottermore (J.K'S official site) says so. End of story.
Didn't J.K. Rowling state that Slytherin was no longer the pureblood bastion that it once was?
Me: I should go too go too bed
Also me : sees another video I haven't seen
Talking too myself Oh what's one more video 😁😁.
I think that Slytherin would let a non Pureblood in because Harry was a Half-Blood but the hat really wanted him in the house. The comment that there aren’t many muggleborns in Slytherin house is true, but that’s likely because it’s not s secret so many are blood racist so most REALLY don’t want to be in Slytherin house. Snape was a Half-Blood as was Voldemort, they both got in.
Edit:Fixing a typo
We agree.
I’m a Slytherin. I see no issues with muggleborns being in my house.
But Rowling didn't create you.
Never in my house dirty muggleborns

Would a child between two Squids be an exception?
Yes. Also, the non-magical child of 2 Squibs would be a Muggle. However (and this is interesting to think about), the Muggle would either be pure-blood or half-blood, depending on the blood status of the Squib parents.
And Muggle-borns are descendants of Squibs.
two squids would only have squid offspring.
joking aside, entirely possible for two squibs to be pureblood wizard but nonmagical and have a magical child.
genetics is funny that way.

typos are fun.
I love you're videos but it might be time to buy a better microphone maybe.
Interesting prediction
I agree that Salazar Slytherin wouldn't want any muggle-borns in his house. But I think you're way off base on how the sorting hat works.
First, the sorting hat places you based on what values you hold, *NOT* what traits you actually have. An idiot who values intelligence (Lockhart!) is likely to be sorted into Ravenclaw, even if Ravenclaw herself would not have picked a moron. Do you really think Gryfindor himself would have taken Peter Pettigrew? Yet the sorting hat did, because Peter values bravery, despite being absent that trait himself. There are also many half-bloods in Slytherin, and while he didn't feel as strongly about them as muggle-borns, he didn't accept them into his house either.
Second, you might then ask why there are no muggle-borns in Slytherin. I imagine the house's reputation would deter many from wanting to be sorted there, and as we know, the sorting hat does take the student's wishes into account - hence a muggle-born is quite likely to imagine "NOT SLYTHERIN!" as Harry did. Furthermore, it's possible that there are muggle-borns in Slytherin - but again, due to its reputation, any muggle-borns sorted there are unlikely to advertise their blood status.
I don’t think a mud blood would be sorted into Slytherin because the sorting hat’s magic comes from the founders. Unfortunately, the witch hunts at the time made a lasting impression on Slytherin. I think he wanted to keep out those who might betray the location of the wizarding world simply by not understanding the reason for keeping it secret, or by just trying to get others to believe them, or by having witch hunter parents. Half-bloods were a little different because they had one parent who knew what was at stake. Sad to think that not being willing to see each other’s differences as assets and trying to work together for everyone’s benefit was not a goal. People fear what they don’t understand - what seems to have the power to hurt them even if they know nothing about the other’s intentions. Question: could the child of a muggle and a half-blood get in Slytherin?
Im in Slytherin so Slytherin is my fave house also Gryffindor
Video idea?? Why didn't Professor Mcgonagall use a patronus to stop the dementia from attacking Barty Crouch Jr.?

@@NuByrth76 hey, you can edit the comment itself, go to the three dots and then go to the edit option...
It is the house that does stand out the most because of it's requirements.
The picture at 2:35 is so weird, the clothing is way to modern for burning at the stake and especially for burning witches
hmm so what if im a muggle i have all traits slytherin is looking for and im brave enough to say this but i will be in sletherin
Of course they should. We have a right to our values, and the otehr 3 houses are free to be tainted. 3 is more than enough.

how come the name got changed
How many generations does it take for a family to be considered "pure-blood"? Suppose my mother is a muggle and my father is a pure-blood. I'm their only child and, of course, a mudblood. I choose to have children with a pure-blood woman. They grow up and have their own children with other pure-bloods. Could their children be accepted to Slytherin, or is that too early?
They shouldn’t be allowed “because they’ll get bullied” is a common rationale that has been historically used in arguments that’s support exclusion. If you don’t believe in working to change exclusion and prejudice, you support exclusionary bigotry.
How is that even possible there are not muggleborns there
