That's what Hagrid says in SS, at a time when he
thought Sirius Black was a DE, and of course we know
that Peter Pettigrew really was, so - are they
Slytherins?
Peter at least *can't* be a Gryffindor since their
chief characteristic is courage and he has none at
all. He does however have cunning, he could be a
Slytherin.
But what about Sirius? According to Dumbledore
resourcefullness, determination and a disregard for
the rules were all traits Slytherin wanted in his
pupils and Sirius certainly has those in spades....
Or Hagrid might have been indulging in a glittering
generality. Slytherins might well be especially at
risk because of their ambition but I find it very
difficult to believe that no member of any other house
has ever fallen to the Dark side.
