Slytherin House.

While Slytherin may have had a strong prejudice in favor of
Purebloods, he was not necessarily radically against mixed-bloods.
What he didn't like was muggles and muggle-born because he didn't
trust muggles, and given the times in which he lived (the middle
ages), he had very justifiable reasons for not trusting them. 

I think that modern 'Pureblood' witches and wizards have perverted and
twisted Slytherin actual beliefs to fit their own agenda. Just as
Christains old and new have twisted Christian beliefs to justify their
own prejudices, and just as extremest Muslim are twisting their
religion to suit their own self-serving needs.

If you only look at the information on Slytherin's break from the
school, you see that it was about not trusting muggles. It's illogical
to think the other three founders would have been his friend if he fit
the extremest pureblood radical marginally pschotic fanatic that later
self-serving generations of purebloods have made him out to be.

I'm convinced Slytherin House give preference to ambitious cunning
pureblood, but if you are a mixed blood and you are still sufficiently
cunning and ambitious, then your in.

Just a few thoughts.
