What is the name of the Hogwarts house founded by Salazar Slytherin?

Salazar Slytherin founded the Hogwarts house named Slytherin.

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has four houses, each traditionally associated with one of the school’s founders. Slytherin is linked to Salazar Slytherin, while Gryffindor, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff are linked to Godric, Rowena and Helga respectively.

The house values ambition, resourcefulness and determination in the books. Its members are represented by a serpent, and its traditional colors are green and silver. The common room is located in the dungeons beneath Hogwarts, according to the novels.

A common misconception is that every Slytherin is evil. The books include heroic and morally complex Slytherins, most notably Severus Snape and Horace Slughorn. Salazar’s beliefs about blood status create a major conflict in the story, but the house itself is a fictional school community rather than a simple label for villainy.
