they were living in the same village. When he left her, he probably 
retunred to his parents. If she was following Slytherin's beliefs, 
and was like the students of Slytherin house why she didn't try to 
punish him, like her son did years later? What if she wasn't in 
Slytherin? The whole Black family was in Slytherin exept Surius who 
made another choice. I wonder if she once made a choice against 
Slytherin's beliefs.

Jmay:
If she was following Slytherin's beliefs, what was she doing with a 
muggle?  That would be a big choice against Slytherin.

Also, has anyone ever noticed that even thought all pureblood 
families are related, none are related to the biggest pureblood 
fanatic, Slytherin?  The only one who is, is a half-blood.  Are we 
absolutely sure that Tom Riddle is Slytherin's heir because of his 
mother?  Just cause Tom said so, doesn't make it so...

Just a few additional thoughts...

Please be kind :)
