[HPforGrownups] Lily a Slytherin? (was Sorting)

No: HPFGUIDX 1980

Boy, you guys have really discussed this one.  I wasn't even aware that we didn't know the houses that James and Lily were in.  I've only read the series once, I should probably reread it again.  I think I'll read through the archives a little also to catch up.

This is a great list.  I know I'm going to learn a lot.

  > Hello, my name is Donna Rae and I'm new on the list.  So if this has
  already been discussed, forgive the post.  But...didn't the sorting hat
  suggest that Harry should be a Slytherin?

  It did.  But Harry chose otherwise.  And there's been too much comparing of
  Harry to James for them to be in different houses, and for that not to have
  been mentioned.  I don't know, James just doesn't seem Slyth material to me,
  he seems much more of a Gryff.  I do think Lily and James's houses will be
  important, as there's been no mention of them yet.  But I think that all the
  Marauders except Wormtail were probably in Gryff.  Lily may also have been
  in a different house.  In fact, maybe she was a Slyth and that's why Voldy
  said she didn't have to die.  Also if she was a Slyth, she'd have known
  Snape quite well, giving weight to the Snape being in love with Lily theory.

  It would also explain why the hat wanted to make Harry a Slyth, if his
  mother was one, and he's inherited those qualities.  But if his father was a
  Gryff, and Harry identified more with that side of himself, then that's why
  the hat put that down as the next choice.

  It'd make a great twist, wouldn't it?  Harry seeing the Slyths as the source
  of all things evil, then finding out his mother was one.  Imagine the effect
  on Harry.

  An even better one would be to find out that Lily was not just a Slyth, but
  a closet Death Eater, but the only evidence I can find for that is Voldy
  saying she needn't have died...
