The hat, the hat....

You know, ever since Arthur Weasley said, "Never trust anything if you
can't see where it keeps its brain" I've never quite trusted the hat
fully.

I've always agreed with the things it's said, for lack of evidence
otherwise, took its version of Hogwarts history at face value,
nevertheless...

It *did* want to put Harry in Slytherin after all. 

I just don't know if we can 100% trust it to be a "good" artefact. 

And you know, I don't think Voldemort would trust the Hat with a piece
of his soul either, I would bet Nagini makes a far more controllable
Horcrux than that hat, and she can locomote on her own!
