themselves with V. 

Kelley:  That's true, not all people who were in the house Slyth 
became dark.  Interesting.  There is one point, I think in SS, that 
Hagrid says that there were no wizards that went dark that ~weren't~ 
in Slyth, so I took this to mean that no one from the other houses 
followed Vold, but then wouldn't this mean that Pettigrew must have 
been in Slyth?  Maybe Pettigrew and the rest of the Marauders were in 
Slyth when they were at HW.  And Lily was in Gryff (because she was 
descended from Gryff-- AAAAH! Here I go...!).

So, do you think this disagreement with the other three is what made 
Slyth turn evil?

Kelley--who's really enjoying all this discussion
