My best friend and I are hardcore Potterheads. I’m a Slytherin and would be a Death Eater, while he is a Gryffindor and would be a member of The Order of the Phoenix. We have known each other since we were 7 years old(14 years) and we never have had a serious problem during our friendship. In fact, he is the one person that can calm me down with a simply word if i’m angry or upset. A lot of people find it weird we even get along, considering our houses and where our loyalties lie. It just goes to show you Slytherins and Gryffindors can be the best of friends.

Slytherin and Gryffindor work really well together actually and, rivalries aside, have the capacity to not only do great things but be great, great friends.
But, I’d like to say… Being a Slytherin is not synonymous with being a Death Eater (which, basically, is the Wizarding World equivalent of a supremacist terrorist faction), nor is being a Gryffindor grounds automatic inclusion in the Order of the Phoenix (which is the equivalent of a grassroots militant force).
I also don’t understand how so many people can so proudly proclaim allegiance to the Death Eaters. Did we all read the same book? Being a Death Eater means having no scruples, no mercy, no speck of human decency or kindness… The only exceptions are the Malfoys and their involvement had more to do with cowardice and self-interest than actual loyalty. Voldemort viewed everyone who wasn’t himself as a pawn. Expendable. I would never be able to align myself with someone like that… or respect anyone who did.
