Honestly. Most of the people that I talk to(except the ones that would be in Slytherin) think that all Slytherins are evil and that they are bad people. When you listen to the Sorting Hat's song, no where does it say "Slytherin's are Evil." We are given a small view of Slytherins. We only really interact with a small portion that are intentionally cruel to Harry. Other than that, you'll notice that the Slytherin's leave harry alone as much as any other house.
The attributes of Slytherin are sly, cunning, ambitious, and willful. That doesn't mean evil. I will admit that those attributes lead to "evilness" more than those of the other houses, but you can't say that only Slytherin's become evil, look at Pettigrew!
So basically, I want to know why people think that just because I would be a Slytherin I would be evil?
Note:I *would* be a Slytherin if I were at Hogwarts, as would many of my friends, and we're anything but evil, we're more along the lines of weird and crazy...
