Khác biệt giữa bản sửa đổi của “Harry Potter dành cho Muggle/Địa điểm/Nhà Slytherin”

Shortly before [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows/Chapter 36|the end of the last book]], [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lord Voldemort|Voldemort]] decrees that all houses at Hogwarts shall be terminated, except for Slytherin. Luckily, this decree has no effect.

 

 

The number of students actually in each House is uncertain. We only ever hear of five boys and five girls in each year, but we have been told by the author in an interview that the average class size (all residents of one House for one year) is about thirty. Thus we must assume a population of 210 per house, fifteen boys and fifteen girls each year.

It is worth note that almost all boarding schools divide their students into multiple "houses", based either on the residence in which they are placed, some other characteristic, or simple random selection. This division fosters some internal competition, which can lead to improved performance in the school, and allows for practice with teams outside the school. There is possibly some benefit to grouping students by temperament; presumably, by grouping all the more Machiavellian students together ito Slytherin house, there will be less ground for complaint about the more egregious social climbing incidents, because in theory all students in the house will be trying to compete on those grounds.
