‘And what are Slytherin and Hufflepuff?’

‘School houses. There’s four. Everyone says Hufflepuff are a lot
o’ duffers, but –’

‘I bet I’m in Hufflepuff,’ said Harry gloomily.

‘Better Hufflepuff than Slytherin,’ said Hagrid darkly. ‘There’s not a single witch or wizard who went bad who wasn’t in Slytherin. You-Know-Who was one.’
海格是說“巫師去了蛇院後大多數都變壞了”還舉了伏地魔當例子，所以他覺得去獾院也比去蛇院好。話說，海格到底知不知道當年嫁禍他的人就是少年伏地魔啊？如果知道的話，那他討厭蛇院還真的是沒話講了。以偏蓋全是人性。
‘Gryffindor,’ said Ron. Gloom seemed to be settling on him again.

‘Mum and Dad were in it, too. I don’t know what they’ll say if I’m not. I don’t suppose Ravenclaw would be too bad, but imagine if they put me in Slytherin.’

‘That’s the house Vol– I mean, You-Know-Who was in?’

‘Yeah,’ said Ron. He flopped back into his seat, looking
depressed.

Ron害怕進蛇院，因為老伏在裡面待過。重點是“伏地魔”而不是蛇院。
　
而哈利呢──
　
Perhaps it was Harry’s imagination, after all he’d heard about Slytherin, but he thought they looked an unpleasant lot.

他對蛇院的感覺就是──讓人很不愉快。
可以肯定魔法石對蛇院所使用的詞彙都跟諧邪惡沒有關係。而這些形容都是來自於蛇院學生給人的印象。
