"Right there in the first book we know right off the bat what each 
house admires as good traits for their members. It's very obvious 
that above the others there are going to be more lecherous folk 
in Slytherin than the others, simply by the traits they admire, 
ambitious people always have the proclivity towards "evil". Maybe 
that was the idea of having the house, to sort of wrangle in just 
how to use these dark thoughts and ideas into something more 
productive. Or maybe the idea was, if you take the psychological 
approach, that inside each of us we all have the potential for 
dark deeds, and we must accept that fact."

Are you sure that 'lecherous' is the word you are looking for?  It doesn't quite
seem to fit.
