I’ve always had an issue with the ‘all evil wizards were in slytherin’ thing. Theres other things besides ambition that drive people to be evil. Where’s the hufflepuff who thinks society is broken and unfair and decide to burn it down and build a better one from the ashes, or will do anything to keep their loved ones safe even if it means hurting others? Where’s the ravenclaw who starts practicing black magic and experiments on others because of an intense morbid curiosity? Where’s the gryffindor who is convinced their protecting people but are actually hurting them, or can never back down from a fight even if they know they’re wrong? Yes, lust for power and ambition are reasons to become evil, but not the only reason.
