Hogwarts Houses

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has four renowned houses, named after four great witches and wizards. These houses can be compared to the pillar of the school. These four houses are Slytherin, Ravenclaw, Gryffindor and Hufflepuff. All these houses have their own symbolic colour to be recognised by.

The Slytherin house was named after Salazar Slytherin, one of the greatest wizards of all time, who had special qualities like Parseltongue (the language of serpents (as well as other magical serpent-based creatures, like the Runespoor and Basilisk) and a very intense relation with  'serpents' which led him to make pet snakes and it inspired the house symbol of Slytherin to be a snake. The symbolic colour of the Slytherin house is 'Green'. It is said to be that, the colour 'Green' shows off the actual serpent aura, loyalty and traditional  'elegance '.
