Slytherin here.
And for a very good reason (aside from the dark magic, of course). When I was 11 and had just got to secondary school, it was just when the Harry Potter franchise was really taking the world by storm. Within a year or so the first film had been made, and practically everyone I know had read the books that had been released. So needless to say I got to secondary school as a bit of a nascent Harry Potter fan. When we arrived in the school hall to be assigned our form groups the headmaster said that one of the teachers standing next to him was our school's equivalent of Slytherin in the Harry Potter books. I immediately thought 'oh great, I know where I'll end up', and sure enough, a few minutes later I had been sorted - sadly with no sorting hat - into my school's Slytherin.
But I quickly embraced it, and I mean let's be honest, Slytherin have the best colours, and the best crest. And we get to hang out in the dungeons, and talk to snakes! I'm even considering a dark mark tattoo... which I know probably seems lame for someone almost 30. But hey, it's my arm. Plus Dumbledore totally cheated us out of the House Cup in the first book. What a stitch-up!
Funnily enough, some years later I was on a third or fourth date with a girl, and she literally dumped me on the spot for being a Slytherin. Can't please everyone, eh?
I'd love to know which of the houses you all belong to. But let's try to keep it civil
