No- I don't think Slytherin- he isn't evil- happy endings- but 
cynical- I think he'd be in Ravenclaw- alot of his writing has more 
than one meaning and that takes a clever mind-
I always loved Roald Dahl as a kid( even did a term paper on heim in 
high school) and now- my 3 yo favorite show is Willie Wonka and 
MAtilda!

Like mother- like daughter
