Re: Inspired by #3

I've proposed this before, but consider Harry Potter canon a thousand years back. Gryffindor and Slytherin were good friends once, but Slytherin became obsessed with "blood purity" and left a legacy of hatred, and now Slytherin is seen as the house where evil and manipulative people wind up. Suppose Gryffindor had been the one to fall instead? A thousand years later, Slytherin is the golden-boy house and Gryffindor is regarded as a house for self-righteous meatheads who're into blood purity. Who winds up in which houses, and how does the story change?

Sadly, I don't have ideas for a plot to go along with the premise. I have ideas of who winds up in which houses, but I don't know what the overarching story would be or where it would end.

I...don't really see how the differences would be anything more than superficial. Everyone in Gryffindor would be in Slytherin except Neville (Hufflepuff) and *maybe* Hermione (maybe Ravenclaw). People would hate Gryffs instead.

Well, okay. Maybe if they were racist jock meatheads instead of racist little shitheads the world would be a little more violent. Basically go a little more medieval with the warding world and you're there.

I think Harry and Ron would still go Gryffindor, actually. The Weasleys as a family would value the positive qualities of the house (bravery, loyalty, etc.) while repudiating the founder's racism, but Ron himself would feel decidedly mixed about it. Harry could go either way, but I see him as still a Gryffindor, making him even more worried about the connection between him and the villain. (Assuming the villain is a Gryffindor--I really can't see Gryffindor Voldemort, and I wouldn't want to make Dumbledore the villain like a gazillion other fics. Maybe it would be Umbridge?) Draco would still be a Slytherin, but Crabbe and Goyle would fit in perfectly with violent meathead Gryffindors, so Draco would wind up in a different social circle (potentially very different if Lucius was a Gryffindor.) There's a decent chance Draco of all people could wind up as the hero in this setting!

The real question is where Snape winds up. I guess that depends a lot on who the villain is.
