eruthrosI've worked out why the sorting hat wanted to put Harry in Slytherin!
I've talked before about what I think it takes to be a Slytherin: a willingness to be a Drama Queen. Draco and Lucius want to be the centers of attention and eyebrow-wiggle and so on. Snape's the Dark, Ominous, Looming, all-eyes-on-me type. Tom Riddle? Salazar Slytherin? Drama, drama, drama!
And in book 5 Harry finally stops being just a little bit melodramatic, a little bit world-revolves-around-me, and blossoms into full-on Drama Queen. It's all part of growing up, I guess.
