Trivia[]
- The beginning of the PV notes "Slytherin will help you on the way to greatness". This is a quote from the Sorting Hat when speaking to Harry Potter in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
- Slytherin house also values the following qualities: cunning, resourcefulness, ambition, determination, leadership, self-preservation, fraternity, and lineage. It is also often said through various characters and Harry Potter media that Slytherin students are destined to become great, which can align with good or bad intentions.
- Slytherin's representative animal is the snake which is present throughout the PV.
- The following spells are referenced in the PV: "Avada Kedavra", "Crucio", "Imperio", and "Morsmordre". All of these spells are typically used by dark wizards and witches, particularly Lord Voldemort and his followers, the Death Eaters. The first three spells are also known as the three Unforgivable Curses while "Morsmordre" creates an image of the Dark Mark, Voldemort's sign, in the sky after a murder.
- Along with the spells, several items appear on the screen. These include:
- At the end of the PV, "Always" appears on the screen, referencing Severus Snape's line in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows after revealing to Albus Dumbledore that he was protecting Harry only out of his love for Lily J. Potter.
- Parseltongue is a language and ability that is usually deemed hereditary, and nearly all known Parselmouths (individuals who can speak the language) are descendants of Salazar Slytherin. Though the language is often considered an attribute of dark wizards and witches, there are those who are aligned with good. It is possible for an individual to understand and imitate Parseltongue as well.
- Even when taking this into consideration, it is possible that this song was written in Parseltongue simply because the language has roots in the Slytherin lineage itself, and acts as a representation for the house.
