Fairness to Slytherin: at the time, Muggles were literally hunting Wizards. It was his pov that they would be dangerous and BETRAY the students who had to goto school to learn magic safely. Slytherin had phobias built on his pain- similar to Magneto from X-Men. It’s not like he used the Baskilisk- he put it there with the idea that PURE wizards were innately going to do good with it, but inevitably failed to see the birth of a Wizard of his line incapable of Love.

I can defend the basilisk. Muggles were a real threat back in his time. Remember the suits of armor that defended the castle at the battle of Hogwarts. It's been 1000 years I can promise history hasn't be kept 100% accurately. He may have not liked muggleborns but the fact that he never killed any is HUGE in proof of his character. He also had the sense to make sure the basilisk was locked up and no one who couldn't control it could get to it. Purely to keep the students safe. I'm sure if it was needed for defense from outside invasion it would come to defend the students. I could make a video in this defense but... 🤷

You know who's a good example of a HEALTHY SLYTHERIN? Hiro Okumura - from 'Isekai Word Cheat', the Manga... He likes Books a lot, so you think first of Ravenclaw, but then you realize that: no, he's actually a Slytherin. A very, very healthy one. He's always thinking of his own benefit, but in a very healthy way, that is rather hard to describe. He's affecting everyone, but not manipulating anyone, if you get what i mean. He's also teaching people being polite - in a very rude manner though (lol)... He's practical and teaches people that most importantly. Mercy, Kindness and all that are indeed Positive BUT you can also NOT EXPECT them - you need to pay people for their work, for example. And that's just a summary about him.

Not only did we only ever see the basilisk under Voldemort's control, but even then it still doesn't eat anyone. No offense to its stony gaze, but if it was as interested in killing as the one controlling it was, it could have put in a lot more effort than it did. On top of the defense argument, his wand also used part of a basilisk as its core. It's possible that he wanted to keep the basilisk close at hand in order to use some aspect of it as an ingredient in potions or for crafter other wands. The basilisk is also accessed through the bathrooms. According to the Harry Potter wiki, plumbing was added to Hogwarts in the 1800s. Either someone found the basilisk when renovating a bathroom and chose to hide it behind a fake sink or the basilisk was added at that time. It feels just as likely that one of his descendants decided the idea of Slytherin's monster was a cool idea that they should make reality.

Then after a 1000 years of isolation it would have turned any sentient creature mad from loneliness which could be capitalized on pretty easily. A fan theory about voldy I read was that the act of being conceived under the influence of love potion would make him inhibited to the feeling of love if not downright lost. So I feel bad for good ol' Bessy that she only wanted to protect the school from what voldy likely sad was attacking it. I also imagine that the snake would have no idea about blood purity outside of what was told her. So the Snake is innocent. Voldy and his hatred is not.

Something you said in this video "they have powers, they are your people" made me think of a question I've had in my head for a very long time, and I wanted to get your opinion on it. If muggle-borns are just born with magical powers, equally as powerful as any half or pure blooded wizard, the power just seems to come from no where and enter them at conception or at birth. Doesn't that mean that muggle-borns are the true pure bloods, as their powers were given to them not by blood but by magic power itself, such as what is studied behind the locked door in the Department of Mysteries? They aren't tainted by older magic that runs in the blood of pure and half bloods. They are pure, fresh, new magic that has entered the world. So called mud bloods would seem to have the actually purest blood of all, the purest magic inside them, whereas most half and pure bloods receive magic through blood, magic that is older, corrupted, warped, and changed by those who have used it before passing it on to their children, which might account for the fact that most dark wizards birth dark wizards, even if their children grow up in a different environment, outside of their parent's influence. Look at what happened to Voldemort, with a murderous uncle and a hateful and uncaring grandfather. Blood that has been spoiled by the dark magic that has run through it, and thus corrupts the next generation even more. This might even explain how Slytherin could have decedents like the Gaunts, corrupted and evil from the horrors passed down through their bloodline, while also having another decedent who would live to found Ilvermorney, having little to no corrupt blood passed through her line. I'm not saying that all evil that dark wizards and witches do is because of this, as the blood must be first corrupted then passed down, and so an initial evil must be committed in order for the corruption to begin, growing stronger over time with more evils committed, but this would be a good explanation for Voldemort's initial evil as a child, having so much evil passed down through the Gaunts. Any way, sorry to go on and on like that. Just typing what I'm thinking. Think about it. I think it makes sense. Stay awesome.

HOWEVER, I agree that we can have historical perspective on cultural and societal norms so as to better understand them and the situation they lived in. For example, I completely understand how my ancestors in the American Ante-Bellum south could view slavery as normal given the times. However, I still call it wrong and a crime against humanity and, should my digging into family history unearth slave owners, I will certainly blame them accordingly. Understanding does not mean condoning nor forgiving what they did and I think it's very important to have that distinction.

What if he intended for the basilisk to be used by his heirs to protect the school in the event of an attack.

Not exactly related, but there's a great part in one of the sorting hat songs that gives us an interesting insight into Slytherin. "The houses that, like pillars four/Had once held up our school/Now turned upon each other and/Divided, sought to rule" It goes on to mention friend fighting friend, and Slytherin departing the school forever which ended the fighting. At no point does the Sorting Hat (who was present during that time) throw any blame around. It talks instead ab out how each of the houses had disagreements about who should be taught. Is Slytherin not teaching muggleborns any worse that Ravenclaw only teaching clever kids, or Gryfindor only teaching those "with brave deeds to their name"? If anything, Slytherin is the bigger person, and leaves the school to cause a de-escalation of the situation. I'd reiterate what others have said about the basilisk, but I'm sure you get the idea. Interestingly, the chamber has been opened several times in the past - notably what the then-current slytherin heir hid the trapdoor whilst the plumbing was installed in the 18th century. But except for Riddle, we never hear about any times that it came out to starting killing people. I mean, the ghosts would surely mention other times in the past that it'd been opened for killings if it'd happened? So other heirs to Slytherin are confirmed to have opened the snake hole, and not gone mad with killing, so maybe there's more to the story there too.

Yes, Slytherine's prejudice is worse because, unlike the cleverness of students (essentially a legitimate judgment of intelligence) and the deeds of students (a judgment of character), Slytherine wished to base the admission of students on their heritage/race, which in the muggle world we call racial prejudice. Otherwise, maybe your point warrants some consideration. Certainly some further research by the majority of the wizarding community.

Here's my thought. I believe, and you may even like this, cause it encourages Slytherin Pride, that the Basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets may be the last line of defense were there to be an incursion or purge at Hogwarts that would put at risk the lives of the students and staff members. Slytherin's fear of Muggles at the time may have been so dire and extreme, that, unbeknownst to even the other three founders, he would have placed a beast that would strictly target Muggles and Muggle-born. Later on I imagine that the story would've turned to legend, mixed in with Slytherin's own ideals and created a false prophecy whereby some heir would come and purge the school of non magic folk. Is it extreme? Yes. Does it make Slytherin an evil wizard? Not at all. In fact I'd consider him a Magneto type of character, where his greatest fear is the full annihilation of his people, and though he left the school, he left an ultimate weapon capable of tipping the scales in their favour. So I say point goes to Slytherin. That said, I'm a Ravenclaw.
@mobilgames180

It makes sense. The rest of the founders thought it was the last line of defense, but Slytherin intended it to be used for muggles. (Perhaps if ex. A muggleborn told the muggles about Hogwarts and sent the muggleborns to go attack the school or something not so extreme ( hope you get the gist) then his heir could help defend the school🙂) He could have good intentions, but in the future, what was real, turned to a much worse myth, making a bunch of 11 yr. olds feel bad about themselves, causing them to come out as bad people, make the reputation, and create the message of Salazar Slytherin. Notice how his close heir, ( the one who started ilvermorny) was good🙂. Because Slytherin was just a paranoid person, who wanted to keep his friends and students safe. He was a bit extreme, and not the best of people, but, good none the less. What do you think?

But because of Salazar's distrust for muggles and caution towards muggleborns, the heirs twisted that very valid fear into something more twisted because if Salazar truly were an evil wizard, I doubt the other founders would've founded a school with him or kept his name as one of the houses.

Rowling definitely had the plot set up that far already (she even mentions Sirius in the very first chapter of Book 1), but what's important ot understand is that ROWLING didn't say it, Hagrid did. She doesn't present it as a fact, she presents it as a character's opinion, and she needs to put it in there, because over the series of books, it becomes obvious that Harry would have fit into Slytherin VERY WELL so she needs to give him as big a number of strong reasons not to want to go there as possible. So she gives him Hagrid's opinion, Malfoy's haughtiness, lets him learn about the fact that his parents' killer went there...

On the other hand, the wizarding world takes place within our world. So, how Muggles really are is basically the same as how they are in real life. But we see things from the wizards' point of view, so we only ever see some rather bad ones. A reason for this is likely because those Muggles we meet, or hear of, are reacting more to a tremendous lie told to them. This isn't the case of 'Muslim bad, all Muslims bad, avoid them.' It's a straight up 'uber-powerful people lie among us, with their own government, and when I married one, he/she didn't tell me till after we married.' That not only breaks trust, it creates a great sense of fear in the Muggle. If they're so strong, and they exist underground, as a governmental entity we can never see, how far off are all the conspiracy theories we keep hearing?

Carl Sagan, from a completely Atheistic perspective, thought it was best represented quoting from the Bible "I call Heaven and Earth to witness before you this day that I have set before thee life and death, the blessing and the curse. Therefore choose life, that thou mayst live, thou and thy seed." Theory: The legacy of Slytherin is the Wizarding world's nuclear physics.

I’ve had the same thoughts before about slytherin only being against muggleborns because he was protective of wizards but as I’ve thought about it more, that logic doesn’t make any sense. If your goal was to keep wizards safe from persecution by muggles, which Slytherin’s was, inviting them into your magic school is a way to decrease the chance of persecution, not increase. Let me explain. If we follow Slytherin’s model and ban muggleborns from attending, then those muggleborns are going to be left to grow up in normal society with magical powers, and have no knowledge of how to control those powers. The families and communities that these muggleborns come from would inevitably find out about their magic because the muggleborns has never been told by anyone else that their magic was normal but should still be concealed from muggles. Not only would those muggleborns be under great or even certain threat of being persecuted for their magic, they would also alert many people to the existence of magic, which would make muggles more likely to go out and hunt down other witches or wizards. So, obviously the better way to handle the situation would be to enrol the muggleborns at hogwarts, and either explain to them what magic is and tell them not to perform it around their families, or explain magic to the family but ensure them that it isn’t dangerous and there is no need to hang their own child for it. That way the muggleborns can learn about magic at hogwarts, safe from persecution, and fewer muggles are made aware of magic and thus less likely to persecute other witches and wizards. Tl;dr The logic that Slytherin kept out muggleborns in order to protect magic users doesn’t make any logistical sense when you actually think about how it would work

And very roughly stated: its to be debated (?) which policy would ensure more witches and wizards faster. 1, enroll everyone with magic into your school and community and teach them about it or 2, have the few people already have in your community be _really_ magical somewhere behind castle walls where no one can see them (sounds real exiting) and cross your fingers that the growth of your community will come from children and marriage in that community. Putting quit a strain on those poor women, who I believe should at least have 12 children each to be effective.

And to be honest if I lived back in good old Slytherin’s days I would have a reaaaaallllyyyyy haaaarrrddd time opening up to muggles and even muggleborn when you consider the fact that witches and wizards were killed by muggles left and right and the fact that the population of the wizarding world was shrinking... I won’t justify the act of killing muggles/muggleborn (still only a legend that Salazar Slytherin killed muggleborn with the basilisk) but as a Slytherin you tend to weigh out any possibilities and since I’m no Gryffindor a 50/50 percent risk/chance (whatever you wanna call it) is not an option I would choose let alone the man himself would make, in my opinion 🤔

Yeah I agree with Lanelle, it can go either way. A magical muggleborn might still feel strong loyalty to their family and muggle-heritage. I'm not sure at what age magical powers become apparant, but it is late enough for them to have been raised on muggle anti-magic sentiment. (Harry didn't really show magic until he talked to the snake in the zoo, Hermione also managed to not reveal her magic to her parents it seems) And we can look at actual history, people are very much against things that are different to them, that they don't understand. Good wizards trying to convince muggles that they are good, will still result in burning at the stake. Many people ratted out their dear neighbours and family members in actual history.

If we take the view that Salazar slytherin's monster was there sort of as an insurance policy. I think the phrase "Purge the school of Mugglesborns" is really what makes it a problem. Now if he had told his Heir something to the effect of "If the muggle-borns ever betray the school, unleashed the monster." At that point it would be a lot more possible...it would be like having a strategic nuclear Arsenal that you really don't intend to use cuz you really don't want to Have to use it. After all when Hogwarts was retrofitted to have Plumbing the heir of Slytherin only really concealed the entrance. He didn't take the opportunity to unleash the snake on the school.

well for all we know maybe you are right and he did somethiong to that effect and then over the generations and possibly a descendant or two also being named salazar slytherin somewhere down the line it became purge the school of muggleborns instead of unleash the monster if the muggleborn ever betray the school (whoch while understandable is still a wrong and biased sentence and practically asking for a muggleborn to betray the school)

@@misaki4119 true But it has long been speculated by the fan base have long speculated that there was some kind of war between Wizards and Muggles at some point. It could easily be the founders fought in the War and I personally believe Slytherin was probably a little bit older than the other Founders. so they may have has less exposure to the fighting. I mean godric Gryffindor had a sword for crying out loud so it's clear he had combat skills also. but if you think of Slytherin being sort the older end of a generation that fought in the War and Gryffindor being on the younger end like maybe only catching the last year of the war when he was old enough to actually fight in it. You can start to see the difference of perspective. It is biased and by modern standards very wrong. But if JK Rowling ever reveals that something like this scenario I have proposed is true. Then everything would make a lot more since. If we compare it to Wars within the 20th century we could say that Salazar Slytherin would be like someone who'd fought in Gulf War 1 and Godric Gryffindor would have been part of Gulf War Two or the war on terror that has followed it. They're both veterans in that sense they both have skills in martial Magic. The persecutions of witches and wizards from their time in history in the real timeline are more than enough justification for them to have the skills. But if there was also a full-scale war that has yet to be written about by JK Rowling. It would make more sense why the biases exist and that the wizarding world did not find those that hold that oppions to be so vial that they face being ostracized. That's the real problem in all of this it seems like holding these pure-blooded supremacist views is just a normal accepted part of Wizarding Society. There has to be something in the history of their society that makes that seem like a perfectly reasonable stand to have. A little fring but mostly harmless. at one point in the series it's even suggested that Arthur Weasley has an insufficient amount of pride in being a wizard. This implies that A Little Bit Stronger attachment to his own people in The Wizarding World would be expected then the attitude Arthur displays. Societies for sub cultures that have undergone a lot of persecution tend to have these much more close-knit in-group out-group worldviews and social ties. Under this scenario it also makes more sense why it doesn't bother Godric Gryffindor is much to teach muggle-born students. One thing that JK Rowling has never explained about the Wizarding World and then I'm kind of curious about is what would happen if muggle parents refused to allow their student to go to Hogwarts. As long as they didn't do something horrible like Mary Lou barebone and force the child to repress their magic and they just were smart enough to learn to control it on their own. Does the magical community just leave them alone. Or does the magical world have a way of literally forcing them to give up the child if they're not going to cooperate? Something parallel to the Star Wars Universe where Jedi had the right to just take a Force gifted child. We have seen that the Muggle world really wants nothing to do with magic in the Harry Potter universe. And the Wizards are clearly not above modifying memories for all kinds of trivial things. Like Harry blowing up his aunt. Or even just mad Eye Moody being known to freak out and call the muggle cops about intruders. You have to imagine that the local muggle police around Mad Eye Moody's place had to have their memories erased pretty frequently. Point being anytime there is a total separation between one group of people and another. The group that is forced to go into hiding or isolation is going to have resentment. And depending on what the historical justifications that resentment is you get very different versions of The Wizarding World. If being a pureblood elitist was understood than the rest of Wizarding Society to be as bad as Harry anf the Weasleys think it is it wouldn't have lasted for very long within their culture. Something had to have happen at some point to once have Justified it.

Personally, I like to imagine Salazar Slytherin just sort of snapping and creating the chamber in a fit of rage. (He was an extremely powerful wizard, after all. He could probably have done that) Like, he got in one too many arguments with his fellow house-heads, something went wrong and they actually came to blows, then he created the chamber, and left the school. Then, after quite a while, he cooled off and realized that leaving a monster in a school for 11 year olds might have been a bit of a mistake, but by then, relationships had soured with his old friends enough that he couldn't go back and undo his mistake. Then, he spend the rest of his life regretting his actions. I don't think Salazar Slytherin was an evil man. I think he was a human man.

Ultimately, I don't think Salazar was evil per-say. I think he was attracted to power, fascinated by the Dark Arts, and above all else, morally grey. In other words, Slytherin just DOES NOT CARE about the distinction between good and evil. They mean nothing in his eyes. Whether his ambition hurts people, or helps them, is of no importance to him. He's never going to go out of his way to be a good person, nor is he actively trying to be evil. But this acute amorality, combined with powerlust and knowledge of forbidden practices leads almost inevitably to evil acts. The snake isn't a symbol of evil. As you say, it's also a very common healing animal. The snake of Slytherin House is really like an ouroboros -- a symbol of DUALITY. But the dark side of that duality sticks out to us.

Maybe he thought "protect it from muggle born/half-bloods if to many come in" when it was actually "Protect from muggles in case they find the school and march an army with power weapons like guns".

Maybe not so far fetched. Slytherin could talk to snakes. He could have made the snake docile for venom extraction or for collecting a skin that had been shed; which snake skin is also used in potions and one shedding would have been enough for the entire school to use, potentially for years. This is no different than Professor Sprout with her garden. Consider the precautions taken for the mandrakes and how they’re used. They are kept in a container and only “dangerous” when extracted. Also consider that this skill with a dangerous creature is no different than Hagrid has with his creatures; look at Hagrid’s relationship with Aragog. Aragog had human level sentience and speech and yet was willing to let Harry and Ron be eaten with no regard to who they were. The basilisk was a product of its handler. The only things afraid of the Basilisk when it wasn’t being instructed to attack were the spiders that it clearly ate for food. So who here is allowing the more evil act? That’s the end of my thought. I feel I need to note here that I’m a Hufflepuff.

A fan theory I posted in the comments of another video somewhere but definitely belongs here. Salazar Slitherin was NOT a blood purist. Like the other founders, he was a strongly moral character. The founders set up the four houses so that they could shape the youth according to their nature. The idea was that those who have personalities that would incline them to pursue combat and adventure would go to Gryffindor so he could teach them to be less hot-headed and suicidal about it. Those who would, one way or another, find themselves in scholastic pursuits would go to Ravenclaw so she could teach them to think critically. And those who would, one way or another, find their way into politics, would go to Slitherin, so he could teach them to not be evil. Everyone else would go to Hufflepuff, who would teach loyalty and acceptance so they could be the glue to hold the wizarding community together. The personality traits are how they judged that, and, importantly, the personality trait for Salazar's students was ambition. See, Salazar chose the ambitious not because it was a good (or bad) quality, but because the ambitious would tend to be political creatures, and therefore would need his particular sort of guidance. This was how the school was supposed to work, each house nurturing people for different parts of society, so that they could give specific moral and practical guidance to those inclined toward those parts of society, and do it early enough that it would make an impression. Well, something happened. Muggle-born students of Slitherin took their ambition and turned it against the wizarding world, instead favoring their own blood kin. This was in a time where relations between wizards and muggles was tense at best, and was very harmful toward the wizarding community the founders were trying to nurture. If this kept going, the Hogwarts experiment would fail, and wizards would align with their Houses, not the Hogwarts Houses, but the Clans. Salizar's response was to reject the muggle-born from his House, and insist that Ambitious Muggle-born not be allowed into Hogwarts. Helga was livid. After all, Muggle-born were often shunned by their families, and taking them in was a huge part of the Hogwarts plan, a means of growing the wizarding community, though to her, it was more about protecting children. She said something like "If you don't want them, they can come to MY House!" Of course, Helga wasn't well equipped for curtailing the foibles of the ambitious, so the others chimed in on how to handle them. This was the catalyst for the founders to quarrel over how the Houses should be run; it got messy. Salizar recognized that he, and his presence, was instigating this, so he left. But, he didn't leave the school unguarded. He let the others know he'd left something, just in case. If they needed it, he was confident they could find it. After all, they were brilliant. This something was his Basilisk, left to defend the school against Dark Wizards. His normal method of accessing the Basilisk was cued to his blood, and his family like most of the familial Houses, was full of blood purists. So he added a layer of protection against Blood Purists to this method of access. The details of this became lost to time, until it became the foundation for the myth of the Chamber of Secrets. With Salizar Slitherin gone, there was now a House in Hogwarts that no muggle-born could get into. This turned out to be the best place for blood purists to coagulate, and so Slitherin House became what we know it as, a place less focused on any personal qualities, and more focused on blood purity. This shaped how people perceived Salizar himself, and he was now seen as a blood purist, despite that not being the case. When Tom RIddle got there, he found that he could access the Chamber of Secrets, where Salizar left his Guardian. He was able to bypass the protections against blood-purists by the simple merit of being a half-blood. Thus, the myth of the Chamber of Secrets became a reality. Tom Riddle's influence on Slitherin House was an affirmation of the bigotry that had already invaded it, and so we have the Slitherin we see in the books.

I kinda think maybe the real reason for the basilisk wasn't for the outright indiscriminate killing of muggle borns, but was kind of a safe guard. Like Jay said, the relationship between wizards and muggles was probably very bad at the time. A muggle born student would have been brought up with 11 years worth of hate and prejudice against wizards. Slytherin probably feared they wouldn't be able to overcome that upbringing, and may someday join together to destroy the school and everyone in it, in a suicide type mission to wipe out something they considered to be evil. He could have put it there to help the wizards in their time of need. Obviously that never happened, and as time went on even his descendants forgot the true purpose of the basilisk, and because wizards stopped fearing muggles and the supremacist attitude started seeping in, its purpose got twisted from a safeguard to a tool for genocide as it slowly passed into legend.

What if, when the school was founded, there was no way of knowing about “muggleborns,” yet? And the reason they came to know about muggleborn wizards was by way of the magical admission into the school (owl and quill or something?) Muggleborns might not’ve been around to consider when Hogwarts was founded. The “fearsome foursome” were in complete agreement at first to simply teach all wizards, but one day it was made known that there were in fact a good number of muggles that contained wizard-level magical capabilities within them. The idea of allowing said muggles could’ve caused the debacle between best friends and founders of the school. Maybe they all didn’t like the idea at first, but were eventually led to believe muggles could be taught and that it was a way to unite the different worlds. Salazar was simply a firm believer in keeping wizards and muggles separate. He walked away because he wasn’t fake nor was he a people-pleaser. He left because he was out voted and the people he thought he knew had changed.

I always thought that Salazar Slytherin left the basilisk in the dungeons as last defense for the desperate situation: should the school be under attack and lives of the students in grave danger. Also, yes, he was paranoid about Muggle-born students because they potentially could have blurted out something to their families or be tricked to reveal the secret of the school. He thought they couldn’t afford the risk of divided loyalty when they had the responsibility to protect the lives of the children in dangerous and ruthless times. Paranoia is one of the key traits for every Slytherin and it made the difference between life and death more than once for Snape and Slughorn, for example. Years after, those two facts became distorted and tangled up into this whole “ethnic cleansing” horror story. Did Slytherin hurt any of the Muggle-born students in his life? Why would he leave the snake behind to do it later? Doesn’t make any sense. Mind you, the basilisk was obedient and listened to his instructions. Moreover, it was safely hidden for a thousand years, and no one could find it. No one, for a thousand years. Despite multiple attempts and thorough examinations of the school by talented wizards. Except one arrogant little s**t who happened to have a gift of parseltongue, had his own ideas, and used the snake to his own ends, marring the name of the entire House. But still, a horrible monster, within the school walls, tsk-tsk-tsk. You know who else smuggled a horrible monster inside the school? Not for protection, but because he thought it was cute. Not locked up and hidden, but out on the loose. Not isolated, obedient and kept in-check, but with a mate and procreating like there’s no tomorrow, creating an army of out-of-control man-eating monsters. Not hundreds of years ago, but in modern times? Right you are - Hagrid. I still don’t get how Slytherin is evil for being cautions and safely hiding a basilisk for protection of the students, and Hagrid is lovable for being careless and breading a horde of giant spiders within the school grounds. Either they both are wrong for endangering other people or they both get a pass for their ultimately good intentions (or just the lack of bad ones in Hagrid’s case?)

Nah, I'm still thinking that he was fine with muggleborns per say, but didn't like peasants, a very common attitude at the time, and also given the wealth distribution at the time, something like 99% of muggleborns would have been peasants, and there would have been the very occasional muggleborn born to the nobles classes who he would have been more than fine with, but history forgot that bit. The basilisk you say? Well, we know that each of the founders contributed something, and that Slytherin's was the chamber, but I don't think it would have been a secret at the time, otherwise the other three would have kept pestering him about what he was going to add. So the founders knew about the chamber, and be extension, the basilisk, but the basilisk wasn't to defend against muggleborns, but to defend against invaders in general, because, again, at the time, "politics" equals "who has the biggest sword", and a basilisk is a pretty good sword. It wasn't Slytherin's fault that his descendants told it to attack students. Considering how well spread the rumours were of the muggleborn killing monster, Tom Riddle quite possibly wasn't even the first one to get to the chamber. We know parselmouth is hereditary from Slytherin's line, chances are SOMEONE managed to find it. Also, the new set is nice :)

Read about it on Pottermore.

My question is if four founders are in charge of constructing a castle to house the future of their people, why does every one think only one of them left a chamber of secrets. No one knew about Slytherin’s little buddy until Harry came along and killed it so there could well be three other large hidden halls on the grounds. In fact I would be hella surprised if the other founders dI not do this.

Im not sure if it's cannonically explaind or not, but is the *chamber* of secrets really actuallly built by Salazar Slytherin or did he only put his basilisk there? Wasn't it just some old sewer system that got lost on the maps when they built newer toilets? I mean that's how Harry finds out about it, he hears its voice through the walls. I dont think Slytherin built a whole tunnel system throughout the school, pretty sure it is in the books that they are just old sewer tunnels.

The other founders were more open and wanted to work together. Slytherin wanted everything his way and was furious the others would not do what he wanted. So he hid the chamber of secrets so he could have his way one day when it was opened and all muggle borns were forced out or killed.

Other people have pointed it out but I never viewed Slytherin as evil (coming from a Ravenclaw). Like you said yourself muggles were pretty good about killing magic people at this time. I think the paranoia that Slytherin had was passed down through his family even as times got better but he had real reason for the paranoia. I don't think he was keeping the Basilisk there to outrightly attack anybody I think he kept it there for protection if the time ever came for it (you guys mentioned this yourself in another video).

Sorry for my lack of book knowledge, but how did Tom Riddle know he was an Heir of Slytherin? I mean Tom Riddle was early 1900s and Salazar Slytherin was from the 900, so shouldn't there have been a whole lot more Heirs of Slytherin to discover the chamber of Secrets that would then have to decide if the basilisk should be set loose on the school? What is because of the abuse Tom Riddle suffered as a small child made him believe that muggles and muggle-borns needed to be wiped out where as all the other Heirs of Slytherin decided that the world was getting better for wizarding kind?

Stray Dog his mother was from the Gaunt family, which were famous pure bloods descended from Salazar Slytherin. Voldemort obviously researched his family, as he found out his dad was a Muggle and was ashamed. Also he killed his mums uncle I think, to make one of the horcruxes? So he would have found out.

he used to think his father was the wizard coz he thought if his mother was magical she wouldn't have died, but when he found out she was the witch he looked into his family history and found his link to slytherin. as for other heirs finding the chamber, being a parsel mouth is a rare trait (as far as i remember it's only salazar, voldemort and harry who have the ability) so maybe he was the first since salazar to have the ability to communicate with the basilisk? that's just me theorizing though! maybe there's something about it on pottermore. his childhood definitely affected how he looked at muggles. he hated his father for leaving which is highly unfortunate as his mother was actually the immoral one in the situation. . .like, i cannot (nor do I want to) defend him, but i totally get where his hatred for muggles comes from
