I am reviewing as we speak.

Well this is underwhelming.

You got me there. Generally, they are correctly represented, but universally, no. Same as you might have nice Nazis or mean gay people.

@Debaticus

I said generally misrepresented, not universally. I also concede that Snape is a good Slytherin, though his sacrifice in HP 7 is more of a Gryffindor/Hufflepuff thing.

ah, my friend, you forget Albus Severus Potter, who was, like his father and namesake, a very bright, cunning boy willing to do anything to reach his goals, yet not forsaking friendship along the way.

@RationalMadman

Ok.

@K_Michael

Debate me on Lucius Malfoy being a truer Slytherin than Voldemort, please.

I'll take Pro.

We should angle it so neither side can say 'equal' or something.
