I think the poor dear simply doesn't have one.  Though we can safely 
assume it's an "S" as all the other Heads of Houses (And House 
Founders) have nice alliterate names.  Sabrina? Sally? Severa? 
Salazar?  ^_^

Which reminds me, I was wondering where Salazar Slytherin's name 
originates.  I know Slytherin is what a snake does, but does Salazar 
have any connotations, or did JKR make it up?
