Jeanine:
Yes there is indeed a "water" trait that would create a more equal
balance with courage, intelligence and loyalty and it is LOVE. Love
encompasses compassion and sacrifice. These are qualities that
Professor Snape displayed to a high degree. A motto often associated
with "water" traits is "I feel". Those individuals who can truly
feel, who can empathise, sympathise, and understand, are so often
those who are the greatest amongst us. The outstanding example of
undemanding love set by Profesor Snape forms an appropriate
justification for the adoption of Love as the defining quality /
trait of future Slytherins.
