"However, as fun as all this musing is, I feel I have to bring up one 
thing.  These four were the founders of Hogwarts, but not the 
founders of magic within Britain.  Salazer Slytherin was not the 
first evil wizard to exist, and Godric certainly was not the first 
hero.  Perhaps, if people listened to Professor Binn's lessons more 
often, we'd discover that there is actually a richer history that 
predates Hogwarts that JKR has yet to tap into."

Of course it's not a fanfic draft. But if it were, you would be allowed to say that the inner story of the royal european houses is poorly written fanfic. Look at the family tree of the king of Spain and you'll see that he can pretend to be the heir of most of the thrones in Europe. Think in all the wars that begun in European history because of bloodline and legitimacy matters. It could be the same thing in the WW.

Concerning Slytherin and the other founders, it's obvious they were not the first wizards of the History of Magic. But they could be an equivalent of the great Greek gods (Zeus, Hera, Ares, etc...). Those gods were not the first ones in Greek mythology; before them were the Titans and principles like the Sky, the Hearth, etc... The matter is that Zeus and Co decided to deal with the human kind, generating Houses and heroes, and opening the door for tragedies like Oedipus'story. I didn't mean that the Founders were the origin of the WW. I only thought they could be the very origin of all the matters and pains Harry had to face. In that case, our young man would be a tragic hero, and nobody could denie the importance of JKR's books from a literary point of view.
