what sparked the fight that ended in Salazar's leaving.  Though the 
Hat does say that all four founders were fighting with *each 
other*.  So it wasn't a big, "Salazar Sucks!" fight.

Valky:
This is a very good point, what did cause the final fallout and the 
departure of Salazar Slytherin?
This won't be the first time I've brought up this one but, IMO, we 
have many, many Clues. 
Please allow me to make a list of canon:

1 The Chamber of Secret[S] *plural!

2 The SH's New song OOtP "But then discord crept among us Feeding on 
our faults and fears."

3 Dumbledores speech at the end of GOF paraphrase "Voldemort has a 
*gift for spreading enmity and discord*"

4 The SH new song OOtP "At last there came a morning when old 
Slytherin departed and though the fighting THEN DIED OUT," (emphasis 
mine)

5  Hogwarts A History; 
Helga-o-Godric-waRowena-t-Salazar = Helga and Godric, joined by a 
ring, on one side of a "WAR" that ends with Rowena - cross Salazar, 

Q: So what does all this mean? 
A: Unlike Dumbledore I was about to spill the lot of my theory in a 
single sentence... like Dumbledore I have chosen not to.

Q: What caused the fallout between the founders?
A: The spirit of enmity and discord, conjured in the Chamber of 
Secrets, by Salazar Slytherin. It is an immortal energy that feeds 
endlessly on fear and miscreance. 

Q: What made Salazar leave?
A: Rowena's death. He loved her, and she him, he admired her 
sharpness of mind and her power, and she supported him in his 
passion for secrets and his ambitious plans, but when she discovered 
that Salazar had conjured the evil spirit she put down her foot as 
his love and told him to banish it. It killed her. To this day she 
keeps his secrets for him as the ghost of Ravenclaw house. Salazar 
embitterd by the loss of his love sunk into dereliction and 
disgrace, he dissappeared.
