CoS:  Binns answers Hermione's lecture question:
"You all know, of course, that Hogwarts was founded over a thousand
years ago - the precise date is uncertain - by the four greatest witches

and wizards of the age. The four school Houses are named after
them: Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, and
Salazar Slytherin. They built this castle together, far from prying
Muggle eyes, for it was an age when magic was feared by common
people, and witches and wizards suffered much persecution."

He paused, gazed blearily around the room, and continued.

"For a few years, the founders worked in harmony together, seeking
out youngsters who showed signs of magic and bringing them to the
castle to be educated. But then disagreements sprang up between
them. A rift began to grow between Slytherin and the others. Slytherin
wished to be more selective about the students admitted to Hogwarts. He
believed that magical learning should be kept within all-magic families.

He disliked taking students of Muggle parentage, believing them to be
untrustworthy. After a while, there was a serious argument on the
subject between Slytherin and Gryffindor, and Slytherin left the
school."

This is the sentence on which I lean: "He disliked taking students
of Muggle parentage, believing them to be untrustworthy."

I bet Electronic Arts would be willing to give a credit acknowledgment
to your Website, especially if they somehow got the idea that otherwise
you might ask them for money, but I'm not sure you really want to get a
credit acknowledgment : I suppose that the farther under the radar you
fly, the less danger you have of getting involved with intellectual
property lawyers who aren't HPfGU members.

Wizarding society seems very old-fashioned. No doubt it's the kind of
culture in which pretty young witches wouldn't want their husbands or
boyfriends to ever find out that the best sex they ever had was a
quickie, in a cloakroom or something, with a prominent Death Eater.
