“And over there is the portrait of our esteemed founders doing keg stands”

“Why’d you pick that picture to hang?”

“We didn’t. They put it up when they built the castle and now we can’t get it down”

 HOGWARTS FOUNDERS → SALAZAR SLYTHERIN

Professor Salazar Slytherin was a pure-blood wizard of medieval times. He was a Parselmouth (a wizard with the rare ability to speak with snakes) and skilled at Legilimency. He was one of the four founders of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and the former best friend of Godric Gryffindor, a fellow founder. Slytherin didn’t trust Muggle-born students, and he expressed his opinion not to accept them at Hogwarts. However, when the other Hogwarts founders didn’t agree, Slytherin created the Chamber of Secrets, concealing a basilisk inside. Afterwards he left the school, never to return. He died sometime in the Middle Ages.

Like Rowena Ravenclaw and Godric Gryffindor, Salazar Slytherin appears to have carefully selected members of his own House. According to Albus Dumbledore, the qualities which Slytherin prized in his “handpicked students” included resourcefulness, cleverness, determination, and a certain disregard for the rules, along with the ability to speak Parseltongue. He also selected his students according to cunning, ambition, and blood purity. His House within Hogwarts is symbolised by a serpent, with House colours of green and silver. [x]

The Building of Hogwarts - Slytherin

“I think I shall begin below.” Salazar said, swirling his bread in his stew. “I may attempt to build my common room below the lake.”

Rowena tittered. “All that water, that pressure…goodness Salazar. I would rather you working down there than me. I should like to build mine up, perhaps in a tower.”

“As would I.” Godric agreed. “I do not like to have windows I cannot see out of.”

“Well, I too have considered building below.” Helga said, surprising all of them. “Though I would not like to go as far as the lake. I should still like some sunlight to enter my common room.”
