Slytherin House - Scottish Country Dancing Instruction VideoDance Information
Slytherin House, which features a snake as its emblem, is one of the four Houses in Hogwarts, and as such is both a location and a group of characters.The common room is located deep within Hogwarts Castle, apparently in the Dungeons. Students are Sorted into Houses by the Sorting Hat upon their initial arrival at Hogwarts based on their character.
While students remain at Hogwarts, they each represent their House; a tally of House points is kept, with good behaviour and good marks adding to that total, misbehaviour and bad marks subtracting from it.
The House Cup is awarded each year to the House with the greatest tally of House points.
