Probably the non-evil interpretation of Slytherin, where they're not so much Muggle-hating baby-eaters as they are incredibly ruthless and ambitious. Which I can see in Sherlock, especially if you recall that whole "side of the angels" conversation.

[deadtree.livejournal.com]

I can *see* it, if there weren't a Ravenclaw house. Ravenclaws seem to fall on the "cold and calculating" side as often as not, making them morally ambiguous. I don't think Sherlock has the thirst for power that is the cornerstone of Slytherin ideals.

[nochi_san.livejournal.com]

I can see both options being viable, depending on your personal interpretation. Hogwarts houses are problematic that way.

Hogwarts houses are problematic that way.

FTFY...

I'm not that much invested in Harry Potter, but I thought Ravenclaws were also more about studying, and Sherlock doesn't even know that the Earth revolves around the sun, so yeah.

And, it probably depends on your interpretation of the character, but for me he did seems to have the thirst for power, but intellectual power. Just look at how he treats Donovan and Anderson, which is probably the way he treats most people, he doesn't consider anything they say and act as he's above everyone else. I can definitively see the Slytherin in him.

[(Anonymous)]

Also, the idea of the closeness of his mind with Moriarty's one is way funnier and way more interesting if they both start out in the same house.

[falconwhitaker.livejournal.com]

See, it's the very fact that he treats those around him so poorly that makes me think he's not a Slytherin. Slytherins are all about friends and connections and social climbing. Sherlock... isn't.

Ravenclaws are about intelligence, wit and learning. Just because Sherlock sticks to some subjects and ignores others he deems irrelevant doesn't discount him from that house, I feel.

[(Anonymous)]

I was under the impression that Slytherin's main trait [house-wise] was *ambition*, where as Ravenclaw's main focus was on *knowledge*...and while I can see Sherlock fitting into the Slytherin house with that [admittedly, not in the traditional 'I want power!' way, but with the ambition to simply focus on what amuses him, and screw everyone else], where as if something doesn't interest him, he wants nothing to do with it...which seems to run counter to caring about knowledge in and of itself.

Really, the social climbing aspect would probably be relative to what you were after/ambitious for, since, in Sherlock's case [as I see it] it really wouldn't be relevant to his interests either - particularly since most people don't amuse/interest him at all.

[falconwhitaker.livejournal.com]

I'm starting to think that perhaps the main conflict here is less about the character himself and more about the subjective ways in which people define the traits of various houses. In this case, the way I see Slytherin house is incompatible with the character of Sherlock, but that's based on how I define Slytherin.

Then again, JK didn't really give us much beyond Slughorn and Death Eater Central (excluding anything that might have come from Pottermore, and when is that tight-ass gonna give us a proper release date, hm?), so it's difficult to say with any certainty which interpretation is relevant.

... you know, I think my discussions here are the nerdiest thing I have done all week, and it is glorious :D
