it's the question that so many of you
have asked it's a question that has
sparked a frenzy of fan fiction and
debate and it's a question that makes us
all wonder exactly what Harry's life
would have been like it's the question
of what if Harry Potter was sorted into
Slytherin house well in this video I'm
going to go through some of the changes
I believe would have happened but before
we go into the what if let's look at
what we already know we know Harry's
first bad experience of Slytherin came
from haggart's description of the type
of wizard that the house has produced
over the years along with discovering
the type of students it housed Draco
Malfoy for example his altercation with
Harry Alba proved Hagrid's point I was
more than enough to put Harry off ever
wanting to be in the same house as him I
think you can all agree that it wasn't
easy yes to see the type of wizard Draco
would become over the years but still
Slytherin house should not be
stereotyped now we know the sorting hat
takes the students once into
consideration and in Harry's case did
not sort him into Slytherin even though
it felt that Harry could do great things
in the colors of green and silver so
what if the hot disregarded Potter's
wishes and instead sorted him in this
literal house just what exactly could we
discover with Harry being a Slytherin
well let's take a look so even though
they got off on the wrong foot caught
Draco and Harry eventually become
friends personally I believe that
although Harry's Hogwarts house will be
different his morals would still be the
same and he would find it very difficult
to bear a mouth for his company not to
say Draco wouldn't make any more
attempts to become Harry's friend as it
was a type of unofficial Malfoy
tradition to associate oneself with
people our fame and importance Harry had
experienced years of bullying from
Dudley and I very much doubt he'd like
to become friends with a bully like
Draco and when it comes to the bad guys
being in Slytherin just exactly hell
with the Death Eaters feel about Harry
being in the same house as Voldemort
many of them felt that the prophecy was
not about the one who just destroyed the
Dark Lord but the one who would replace
him they believed Harry was to be even
darker and more powerful than Voldemort
ever was so I feel the children of these
families
would openly welcome Harry into
Slytherin house and also what this have
affected Harry's attitude having so many
students basically almost worship him I
believe Harry what at first feel
flattered with so much attention and
it's no doubt he would receive some
special privileges that come with being
a celebrity Slytherin and I wouldn't be
surprised if Harry actually received
gifts from these students either I think
Harry could use the idea of him being
Voldemort replacement to his advantage
in order to gain extra support from the
Slytherin students when it did come to
the Dark Lord's return and in reference
to the students that actually supported
Lord Voldemort Harry would immediately
gain a lot more insight into why these
students appear so United is it
something Lord Voldemort believed in or
is it just an in-house tradition that
the entire Slytherin house must stand as
a unit and never publicly demean or
criticize each other
I think Draco Malfoy would struggle at
this as he genuinely disliked Harry from
their first encounter I think Harry
would alter learn a couple of old
stories concerning Voldemort and it
would be very interesting to see the
light that these people paint the Dark
Lord in and what about Harry's
relationship with Severus Snape well I
can't see much changing here if I'm
honest Snape still hated James and Harry
looked like James and that would act as
a constant reminder to Snape just as it
did with Harry being a Gryffindor I do
however believe Snape would put added
pressure on him and openly stay that he
would not allow Harry to be a
disappointment to Slytherin house and
when it comes to friendships
Harry would not have been great friends
with Ron and Hermione in fact these were
two students that many of Slytherin
house would have frowned upon so Harry
would have not experienced that warm
homely feeling that he got every time he
was in the Weasleys household so many
earth things could have happened if
Harry was a Slytherin I think he would
have made the scissor in Quidditch team
with ease as it evident from Draco
Malfoy bowing his way into the team in
year two and if he wasn't close friends
with Ron then would the Twins have given
him the Marauder's Map
I don't think so wider in conclusion
there's so many things that could have
happened there's so many things that
could have changed a story if Harry had
been placed in Slytherin
too many things in fact I
harry was never meant to be a Slytherin
the story was written for Harry to be a
Gryffindor otherwise we'd be reading a
very very different book with a very
very different outcome thank you very
