    Ahem. Please look again at our coat of arms. I don't care about your insanity stats, Slytherin IS the house of Python. Kthxbye.

    I'm pretty sure that snake isn't a python. Seeing as pythons were less than common in medieval England. :p

    It's a snake. Python is a snake. Ergo, we have the full right to call ourselves the House of Python. Q.E.D. You lose.

    Ah, but there are different KINDS of snake. A python is a snake, but a snake isn't necessarily a python. :p And seeing as Salazar Slytherin selected it, the odds of it being a PYTHON are, well, roughly those of the man having seen a python. In medieval England. :p

    Maybe the Pythons ran there after Paddy chased them out of Ireland...

    A snake in heraldry is stylised snake, that means that it can be any snake you want, even python.

    Ravenclaw can't be the house of python, because you're the house of eagle.

    Nah, they deserve a better herald than an eagle.

    Henceforth, Ravenclaw shall be known as:

    The House of Epic Fail!

    Sounds better, no? :p

    It does, but "Epic Fail" isn't a heraldic charge. :p

    I'm for Hufflepuff.

    I don't think the argument that pythons are not native to England really eliminates it as the Slytherin snake. Lions are not native to England either.

    Although I do have a habit of occasionally writing Salazar as an Animagus who has to be careful because he turns into a snake that's really not suited for the local winters. ;)
