Discussion Question #4
Here is a tough one for you. If you could change one thing in the Harry Potter books, what would it be and why?

If I could only pick one, it's a tough call between Snape's 'death' and something from the first movie that has always made me wonder "what if". So I think I'm gonna go that route and say Harry's sort into Gryffindor.

I want to know what would have been different if Harry had been sorted into Slytherin. I imagine he'd have become Draco's friend, had he given it the chance. Severus would have had an easier time keeping an eye on him and actually would have been able to help him more, I think, as his head of house. And during Voldemort's return, well... things could have gotten much more interesting with how that could have effected things. Would the Death Eater children still rally behind the Dark Lord and their parents? Or would they have stood up for a fellow Slytherin? There is so much that could have been different and changed everything for the story, and I want to see the results of that.

This is something I've wanted to see for a long time. I've seen one interesting fic where Harry gets sorted (along with Hermione) into Ravenclaw, but Harry's character in that fic is substantially different.

Harry in Slytherin brings up a lot of interesting possibilities.
