Flip the Script: Harry is sorted into Slytherin! | Friends with Malfoy, enemies with Sirius, disconnected with his parents, More!

In this episode, we flip the script and discuss how the story would change if Harry was sorted into Slytherin. Enjoy!

Topics/Summary:

·      Listen to episode 285 about the new cast for the trio here!

·      2:13 Harry and Draco are going to become friends. They both have difficult families, and are somewhat alone in the world. They can connect with each other, because the one thing they both want more than anything is a relationship. Harry has no friends or family, and Draco’s family doesn’t care for him. This would create the perfect environment for them to become friends.

·      10:47 Dumbledore and Voldemort’s strategies would have been different. Dumbledore has Harry in his circle in the original story, so it is easy for him to reach out. Voldemort is far removed from Harry and spends his time trying to get at him. If Harry was in Slytherin, Voldemort might try to make a relationship with Harry and Dumbledore would have to work hard to get messages and ideas across to Harry. 

·      17:52 Harry would feel more disconnected from his parents. Being in their same house is really how he can feel close to them, but if he isn’t in the same house, that wouldn’t be the case. The people he meets as a Gryffindor can tell him what they were like, but without them, most of his parents is lost to time.

·      23:11 Harry’s relationship with Sirius would be very different. If Harry is basically a Death Eater, he would be thrilled with Sirius when he breaks out. When he learns that that supporter of Voldemort is his godfather, that would be the best day of his life. Learning that Sirius wasn’t a supporter of Voldemort would be a nasty shock. For Sirius, he would be devastated to learn that James and Lily’s son is in Slytherin and part of a Death Eater family.
