I see Slytherin House has a place where prejudices can
grow and take hold.

In DH, when Lily asked Severus if it matter if a
person was wizard born or muggle born, he thought
about it and said that it didn't.

However, after 4-5 years in Slytherin, he is referring
to muggle borns as mudbloods. He didn't have that idea
in his head before.

After becoming a man and seeing the world not through
the eyes of boys and girls in Slytherin, he tells P.
Black not to say mudblood.

I agree that they sort too soon.
