In this Prof Responds episode on Slytherin House, Professor Wamble takes on the accusations that he went too easy on the snakes. Drawing on listener comments, he dives deep into the complicated ways ambition, loyalty, and reputation shape our understanding of Slytherins. From reframing ambition as neutral rather than evil, to recognizing the pack-like protectiveness that makes Slytherins more Hufflepuff-adjacent than we admit, to wrestling with the Malfoys’ murky line between altruism and self-interest, this episode pulls no punches. Along the way, we question whether it’s the individuals or the corrupt systems they move through that make ambition look ruthless, and whether Hogwarts’ own biases (and Harry’s perspective) stack the deck against Slytherins from the start. Ultimately, Slytherin House may be written as the villains of the story, but Prof argues that they’re not the only ones upholding supremacy—and our refusal to extend them nuance says as much about us as it does about them.
