The Lancer: To Albus. Unusual for Lancers, Scorpius is meek, kind and rule-abiding, while Albus is the moodier, rebellious part of the duo. Huge Schoolgirl: Is said to be taller than Harry and larger in general than a lot of other students. It's likely that Slytherin suffered an internalized version of this as a result of Voldemort's rise to power. The only major Slytherin free of interest in the Dark Arts and Blood Purity is Horace Slughorn, who comes from an earlier generation than Voldemort. Basically, Voldemort's obsession with being the Heir of Slytherin and the fact that he recruited Death Eaters from his own house and then their children after them, essentially cast a large blot on their legacy, making people believe that their extreme aspects were their core ideas. Another bullying Slytherin, not part of Draco's gang per se but apparently quite intimidating in her own right. Pansy Parkinson is a Slytherin in Harry's year, described as arrogant and always insulting anyone she pleases to. She is Draco Malfoy's girlfriend for most of the series, and is in many ways the female version of Draco. But just before the battle of Hogwarts, she suggests the Hogwarts students betray Harry Potter to Voldemort, so she is the first student to be evacuated.

Homoerotic Subtext: With Albus. Albus is Scorpius's only real friend, and they help each other overcome grief, evil and death throughout The Cursed Child. They share several moments of intimacy and romantic moments, most notably when they meet on the moving staircases. Barbaric Bully: Slytherin bullies tend to prefer beating the shit out of their victims, their Quidditch team is notoriously brutal, and many of past Slytherin, especially the worst generation from the 60s and 70s, go on to become Death Eaters. Green has long had a supernatural connection in the UK. Superstition says that it ought to be worn with care; the fairies are supposedly possessive of it, as it is their proper colour. It ought never to be worn at weddings, due to a further association with misfortune and death. Green is the colour of much ‘Dark’ magic; of the ‘Dark Mark’, of the luminescent potion in which Voldemort conceals one of his Horcruxes, of many ‘Dark’ spells and curses, and of Slytherin house.

5. They Got Game

Big Eater: Crabbe is mentioned to be one of the last to finish eating at feasts, and leaves the Great Hall with more sweets to eat. In Goyle's case his first notable action in the books was to attempt to steal Harry and Ron's food, only to get bitten by Scabbers. Sadist: Crabbe in the books takes great enjoyment out of the suffering of others, even his friends. Both also enjoy using the Cruciatus curse on first years. Informed Attribute: Hermione seemed to believe that Millicent was close enough to Malfoy and his gang that he would tell her if he was the heir of Slytherin or if he knows who is. We never see her interact with Malfoy, Crabbe, or Goyle other than when they were all part of the Inquisitorial Squad. Since Hermione failed to transform into her, we never see how Draco would've reacted to her presence.

It's All About Me: A common trait and flaw of Slytherin. They often do their deeds thinking of themselves and not others.Together with the vintage T-bar heels, the whole Slytherin-inspired get-up just looks oh-so-tasteful. The Chamber of Secrets, accessible only by the Heir of Slytherin, is similarly located under Hogwarts.

Fat Idiot: Crabbe in the films, although Goyle isn't exactly a genius. In the books, Crabbe is the smarter of the two.

Slytherin

Bellatrix is one of the most dangerous Slytherins. She's cruel, sadistic, and completely fearless. She's also fiercely loyal to Voldemort and would do anything to further his cause. Narcissa Malfoy Fantastic Racism: While unknown if they harbour these traits, they like many other notable or incidental Slytherin students are related to Death Eaters, in this case the brother-sister Carrow pair.
