Not All Slytherins Are Evil

Okay... so we have had some bad eggs, but who hasn't?

Not All Slytherins Are Evil
FanPop

I swear that we are not all evil, not even every Slytherin from the books are evil. I know..I know. He shall not be named was a Slytherin, but I promise that we're not all crazy and evil like him. WE ARE cunning, not evil and I'll give you some Slytherins who were not evil! Also, this contains spoilers from the latest book, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.

Severus Snape

No matter what anyone tries to say, this man was never evil. In fact, James Potter and Sirius Black were borderline evil with what they had done to him. Yet, Severus still helped Harry, even though he was James' son all because he was also the son of the girl he loved. Dumbledore even trusted him like no other. This man was kind and loyal to those he cared, protecting Harry was an example of his loyalty to Lily. He was a great man and absolutely deserves to have his portrait hung in Hogwarts.

Narcissa Black

Narcissa was never evil. She was a loving mother who unconditionally loved her son more than anything. She was a little screwed in the head when it came to blood purity. Yet, who wouldn't be when you're raised to be that way? She even lied to He Who Shouldn't Be Named about Harry's death. She was a mother who would do anything for her son, and I can't really see the fault in that.

Draco Malfoy

Okay, so the kid was kind of a jerk in the beginning. But, really really who hasn't gone through a phase like that. In the long run, he was just a kid misguided by the beliefs of his parents, who ultimately realized that he was in the wrong. Though, he totally did deserve that punch to the face by Hermione.

Albus Potter

The second son of the boy who lived and the youngest Weasley is, in fact, a Slytherin. Which of course, is absolutely fine BECAUSE WE ARE NOT EVIL. He even became goof friends with Scorpius, Draco's son.

Merlin

Oh yeah, the arguably most famous wizard in history, was a Slytherin. One who believed in muggle rights!

None of the characters I listed are evil, sure some have had some no so nice moments, but they were NOT evil. None of us are. We're cunning, not evil.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
