Throughout centuries the House of Slytherin has attracted ambitious and cunning students seeking for success and personal glory. It is the house favoured द्वारा old pureblood families, such as the Malfoys या the Blacks, and the house the has apparently produced और dark wizards than any other. In the following लेख I will give the reasons why I think Lily Evans should've been a Slytherin.
Lily is a Gryffindor, and a fitting one. Harry Potter's famous mother and reason why he was able to put an end to Voldemort, was a talented muggleborn witch who attended Hogwarts in the 70s. She was teacher's favourite and a member of prof Slughorn's elite Slug club. After finishing Hogwarts she joined Dumbledore's Order of the Phoenix to fight Voldemort.
Lily Evans was a friend of none other than Harry's most hated prof Severus Snape, a halfblood Slytherin. The lived in the same neighbourhood before they went to Hogwarts and Snape was the one who introduced her to magic. Having a witch for a mother, Snape knew something about the magical world, inculding about Hogwarts. On the other hand, Lily was the only one aware of his tragic situation at home. The two were very close in their early childhood, but parted at Hogwarts when they were sorted in different houses.
Severus Snape probably wanted to be sorted in Slytherin. Most purebloods do and while he wasn't one, his mum comes from an old wizading family. Lily, on the other hand, knew nothing about Hogwarts. The things she knew were the things Snape told her. If he wanted to be sorted into Slytherin, he certainly wouldn't portray Slytherin in a bad light (unlike Ron in PS/SS) and she'd want to be sorted in the same house. I think the story would've been और interesting if Lily Evans, much like her son two decades later, asked to be sorted into Slytherin. Now, Slytherin don't really take muggleborns in, but I think this one exception would've sent a strong message.
Slytherins aren't portrayed as good. While we're told not all of them support Voldemort, we didn't really see it. During the battle for Hogwarts, they deserted the school. Peter Pettigrew is the only known Death Eater who wasn't a Slytherin. Even Sirius, falsely accussed and unrightfully sent to Azkaban, while not a Slytherin himself, comes from an old Slytherin family. Snape did दिखाना he was on Harry's side, but he bullied him throughout his Hogwarts years,unable to let go of a childhood grudge against James. He clearly favoured Slytherins and mistreated non-Slytherins.There wasn't a single Slytherin who couldn't at least be disliked.
Lily Evans should've been a Slytherin. The same way Harry chose Gryffindor, she would choose Slytherin. The reason why the Hat considered Harry for Slytherin would then have और to do with his mum being one than with Voldemort. There she'd be in the company of Severus Snape and other potential Death Eaters, including the one and only tragic Regulus Black. She'd probably be the reason why Regulus changed his mind about Voldemort. Having Lily in Slytherin would also explain why she was an important member of the Order: she knew most Death Eaters and had और information about them than anybody else. It would also put Voldemort's offer to शामिल होइए him in a whole new light. Voldemort would certainly be intrigued और द्वारा a muggleborn Slytherin than a बिना सोचे समझे Gryffindor. Naturally, he'd offer her to शामिल होइए the Death Eaters in spite of her heritage. Deciding to spare her on Snape's petition would be और understandable.
Some प्रशंसकों (myself included) complain that she's either a Marauder's era Ginny (because of her looks and popularity) या Hermione (because of her academic achievements). Having her in Slytherin would make her totally different from both girls. It would also be और practical as her and James would be Head Girl and Head Boy from different houses.
Having Lily in Slytherin would put और emphaisis on our choices because even though she was surrounded द्वारा future Death Eaters, she didn't became a dark witch. She'd be a proof that a muggleborn witch can find फ्रेंड्स in Slytherin and that not all of them are Death Eaters. Having a muggleborn Slytherin outwit Voldemort would दिखाना Slytherin in much better light. We'd finally have one good representative of the house. Even Ron would be shocked and he'd probably develop some respect for Slytherin.
All in all, Lily was a fitting Gryffindor, but I think having her in Slytherin would do a lot of good for that house in the eyes of the protagonist and his friends, as well as the magical community as whole and of course, us, the readers.

It began with hello;
but ended before goodbye.
Niether of us thought
that either of us would die.
It started one fall day,
I was way in over my head;
all I needed was a friend.
I grew up द्वारा your side,
आप grew up द्वारा mine.
We didn't know
I was living on borrowed time.
But now here I lay,
ahem, lie;
dressed in white,
blank eyes to the sky.
आप walk over slowly and whisper goodbye.
आप look so odd as आप begin to cry.
Goodbye to आप also, my friend
but in my sight,
our friendship will never die.
-Inspired द्वारा the final battle
but ended before goodbye.

I'll make this short but why did the फिल्में do this. In the पुस्तकें Padma Patil was a ravenclaw while in the फिल्में she was gryfindor.Now just like how Harry's eyes are green in the book and blue in the movie (yes I know Dan cant wear the contacts) but it is , in my opinion ANNOYING! Whats with all these stuff ups?
I mean in deathly hallows part one Harry was himself not barry. I mean WTF? Also in Prisoner of Azkaban in the quidditch match, cedric caught the snitch as Harry fell. But in the फिल्में he got struck द्वारा lightning.
Obviously someone else in the world thinks that the फिल्में stuff ups a little annoying. Does anyone agree/disagree i want to hear. (Please dont be offensive though and have पूर्व at my intelligence, its happened before and quite annoying)also I know the फिल्में are great so dont think i hate them.

It was a crisp autumn eve on the Hogwarts express. Albus, James and Rosie where eating cauldron cakes and goofing off, when suddenly an owl soared द्वारा and tapped furiously on the glass. Albus opened the window and the owl burst in and stuck out its leg at Albus. Albus unstrapped the note attached to its leg. The owl stared into Albus' eyes and glared.
Then without another backwards glance it took off. "What does it say?" कहा Rosie who looked terrified. Albus read aloud "potter, if आप ever want to see your parents again आप will meet me outside the shrieking shack at midnight on Halloween." "Its signed lord Voldemort" कहा James.
"This doesn't add up" कहा Rosie. " well we will have to discuss this later because now’s the sorting." Albus said. “cross your fingers that we all get in the same house." कहा James. "We will!" they all कहा in unison.
