he is a direct descendent of salazar slytherin, so the sorting hat probably sensed that. Plus slytherin isn't only for pure-bloods, as Snape was in that house, and he was the Half-blood Prince. Also, even Harry is a half-blood, and he was told by the sorting hat that he would do well in slytherin.

Who is Voldemort and why is he Harry's enemy?

Voldemort also known as Tom Marvolo Riddle is an evil wizard that trys to kill Harry potter. He wants to kill him because Professor Twerlany made a prophecy when she was signing up for the job of divination professor at Hogwarts. It was when harry potter was almost born. The prophecy said that at the end of July a wizard will be born. He will be the only wizard who will be able to kill Lord Voldemort. Neither can live while the other survives. So Voldemort knew that it was Harry potter and wanted to kill him ever since. Voldemort went to Hogwarts about fifty years before Harry Potter. He was in Slytherin and spoke parseltough. He found all the secrets of Hogwarts and hid many of his hot horcruxes there. He thought of it as his home. His mother died when he was just born. She ran him to the orphinage


Who is the only wizard that Voldemort ever feared?

Did Snape serve only Lord Voldemort?

Yes and No. Right before the fall of the Potters and Voldemort, Snape switched to being in the service of Dumbledore. After Voldemort fell, Snape was used by Dumbledore to keep a lookout in case of Voldemort's return, as well as to keep an eye on the remaining Death Eaters not in jail. Once Voldemort returned, Dumbledore had Snape serve Voldemort, yet he was to rely the info back to Dumbledore. Snape being a servant of Dumbledore is very easy to miss in the books and the movies. In the Half Blood Prince, when Snape kills Dumbledore, it was due to the fact the Dumbledore had arranged for Snape to kill him, if Harry was to kill Voldemort.


How long do Harry Potter and Voldemort fight before Voldemort dies?

This can have a number of different answers. Voldemort attempted to kill Harry when he was one. Harry finally killed him when he was seventeen (almost eighteen). This took sixteen years. Voldemort gained his body back when Harry was fourteen (almost fifteen). This took two years. The final battle took several hours. The showdown between Harry and Voldemort didn't take long and only two spells were cast. It was mainly Harry telling Voldemort what he did wrong and explaining the 'flaw in the plan'.

Can slytherin be good?

No, that's a common misconception. If you are sorted into Slytherin, that just means that you will do anything to get what you want, which I do not see as a bad thing, although, if you take it too far, people may be hurt by your actions. But people can also be hurt by your friendliness, cleverness, and bravery, you see. Well, not every Slytherins are evil, arrogant or cowardly, neither are every evil, arrogant or cowardly people Slytherins; only there is a strong correlation between the two. The house isn't evil but the founder and several of its students were. Being in Slytherin does not make you evil, that isn't one of the house traits. Not all bad people are in Slytherin. Many people believe all Slytherins are evil simply because the only Slytherins we meet in any great detail are. However, we know of at least one who isn't evil: Andromeda (Black) Tonks didn't follow her family beliefs and was blasted off the tree. She then ended up helping the Order of the Phoenix.


Who did Lord Voldemort kill to make Helga Hufflepuff's cup a Horcrux?

Helga Hufflepuff's cup was owned by generations of the Hufflepuff family and was eventually passed down to Hepzibah Smith. Lord Voldemort then befriended Hepzibah Smith, poisoned her and stole the cup (along with Slytherin's locket). Voldemort then turned the cup into a Horcrux and hid it Bellatrix and Rodolphus Lestrange's vault at Gringotts.


Is Salazar the heir of Slytherin?

Salazar Slytherin, in the Harry Potter series, is one of the four founders of Hogwarts. He and Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, and Rowena Ravenclaw helped build the school, but Slytherin and the others fell out, Slytherin pronouncing that the school should only be for pure-bloods, wizards born of wizards for generations, the others saying that Hogwarts should be for everybody, and soon, Slytherin built a chamber within a school, letting inside it a terrible monster that his heir would unlock, and kill those born of muggles, muggle-borns, but, this was eventually killed by Harry.

Why did Lord Voldemort create Horcruxes?

He didn't know he did it. It happened when Voldemort attempted to kill Harry when he was a baby. It was quite on accident, but was a result of the spell backfiring. It was the reason that Harry could speak Parseltongue and why he and Voldemort sometimes shared a mental connection.

Is there an eighth horcrux?

There are seven horcruxes: Tom Riddles diary, Marvolo Gaunt's ring, Helga Hufflepuff's cup, Rowena Ravenclaw's diadem, Salazar Slytherin's locket, Nagini (Voldemort's pet snake) and the part of Voldemort's soul that is in Harry Potter. Then there is the eighth part of soul that resides in Voldemort's body (this part of soul does not count as a horcrux). However, Nagini was made a horcrux after Tom Riddle's Diary was destroyed so only six horcruxes ever existed at once (Nagini was made a horcrux with the murder of Bertha Jorkins in the sixth book).
