Pure blood family tree

The Slytherin family was a pure-blood family with several notable members, particularly Salazar Slytherin, one of the four original founders of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, who lived over one-thousand years ago and is the earliest known member of Slytherin house[1]. Not much is known about this family, but it is possible that they, like their relations, the Gaunts, and several other pure-blood families, had a tendency of marrying their cousins to keep their blood pure and to retain the traits of their ancestors (most notably, the ability to speak Parseltongue[2]). Many Dark wizards and witches came from this family, including Salazar Slytherin himself, and Lord Voldemort. Most of the family died whish made Delphini Riddle the last member of this family.History[]Early history[]The Slytherin family was a prominent one in the wizarding world, as demonstrated by their famous ancestor, although over time their gene pool became unstable due to a habit of inbreeding. They slowly squandered their wealth, which was completely non-existent by the time their last descendants, the House of Gaunt, came to be[2].Recent history[]By the early twentieth century, when the family was extinct in the male line, Marvolo Gaunt, one of the last direct descendants, had only two children, Merope and her brother Morfin. While Morfin regularly used magic to terrorize Muggles and spoke almost exclusively in Parseltongue, his sister exhibited no dark qualities and was in fact so traumatized by emotional abuse inflicted upon her by her father and brother, that she was barely able to use magic and often presumed to be a squib.Merope later ended the pure-blood line of her family by marrying a Muggle from a nearby town, Little Hangleton, and having a half-blood son, Tom Riddle, who later became the infamous Dark Wizard, Lord Voldemort[2]. After Tom Riddle's death in Battle of Hogwarts everyone thought it was the end of Slytherin family, but in 2020 it finds out that in march 1998, in Malfoy Manor was born child of Bellatrix Lestrange and Lord Voldemort - Delphini Riddle.Slytherin family tree[] Cadmus Peverell Salazar Slytherin | | | | -------------------------------- | | Corvinus Gaunt | | Marvolo Gaunt | --------------------- | | Morfin Gaunt Merope Gaunt + Tom Riddle Sr. | Tom Marvolo Riddle (Lord Voldemort)Members[]Salazar Slytherin[] Salazar Slytherin Professor Salazar Slytherin was a great wizard of Medieval times. He was a Parselmouth (a wizard with the rare ability to speak with snakes), and skilled at Legilimency. He was one of the four founders of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. As he didn't trust Muggle-born students, he expressed his opinion against accepting them at Hogwarts. However, when the other founders didn't agree, Slytherin left the school and did not return. It is unknown

That Ominis had already passed away by that date; he either did not have any offspring or, if did, they must also have already died by that date.[3]Magical abilities and skills[]Dark Arts: Ominis was once forced into casting the Cruciatus Curse by his family. However unlike his family, he grew to detest the Dark Arts and opposed their practice.[10]Parseltongue: Ominis was a Parselmouth, meaning he could magically talk to snakes, an ability which resided in his family tree.[14]Defence Against the Dark Arts: Despite being blind, Ominis was still capable of defending himself against the Dark Arts, managing to beat off waves of Inferi in the catacombs of Feldcroft.[16] It is unknown exactly how he managed this, but as his wand was described to be "sentient", his skill may have been linked to that.[11]Love: Though certainly not one of Ominis's most obvious qualities, he held a great amount of deep, brotherly care for his close friend, Sebastian Sallow, as well as fear for the dark path that he was going down. Even though he understood Sebastian to be manipulating him, he still felt a duty to try to stop his descent into darkness as the only person that he trusted.[11][15][16] Furthermore, after the traumatic experiences of his childhood, he made a genuine and radical attempt to distance himself from his family and their culture of the Dark Arts.[12]Possessions[] Ominis using his wand Wand: Ominis owned a wand of an unknown length, core, and wood. It possessed a rare sentience which allowed him to navigate his surroundings and duel others with relative ease.[11]Owl: Ominis also owned an owl, which he used to transmit messages to others.[18]Relationships[]Family[]"My family on my father's side are direct descendants of Salazar Slytherin – one of the four founders of Hogwarts. Not something I'm especially proud of, mind you. He was obsessed with blood status. A pure-blood maniac. Unfortunately, most of his descendants do not fall far from that tree."— Ominis Gaunt on his family[src]Ominis had a strained relationship with his father, mother, and older siblings as they were all Dark wizards with a history of brutally torturing both himself and countless innocent Muggles.[8] He was additionally disgusted by their Pure-blood supremacy.[12] On the other hand, Ominis stated that his father was friends with the headmaster, and threatened to exploit this if he wished on at least one occasion.[11] It is therefore unclear exactly how fragile their relationship was.Sebastian Sallow[] Sebastian Sallow, Ominis's oldest friend "He never confides in anyone – but he trusted me since the day we met."— Sebastian Sallow on their friendship[src]Sebastian Sallow was Ominis's oldest friend.[11] However, their relationship became more tenuous in their fifth year with Sebastian's continued exploration of the Dark Arts, which Ominis regularly advised against.[14][15] In the end, their relationship suffered so badly that Ominis found it difficult to consider Sebastian a friend anymore, even though he did continue to worry about him greatly.[15]Unidentified fifth-year friend[]"I know we had a bit of a rocky start, but you've proven yourself –

When he died. Salazar Slytherin's portrait still remains at Hogwarts.Tom Riddle[] File:Many faces of Riddle crop.jpg Tom Riddle Tom Marvolo Riddle (31 December 1926 - 2 May 1998), later known as Lord Voldemort, was the most powerful Dark Wizard in the history of the wizarding world. He was born to Tom Riddle Sr., a wealthy Muggle who abandoned his wife and unborn child, and Merope Gaunt, a pure-blood witch descended from Salazar Slytherin who died shortly after childbirth. Riddle died by the conclusion of the Battle of Hogwarts at age 71, which led to the Slytherin family, as well as the Riddle family and Gaunt family, to become extinct.Other families[] File:Toujours Pur.jpg The related House of Black. "The pure-blood families are all interrelated. If you're only going to let your sons and daughters marry pure-bloods your choice is very limited; there are hardly any of us left."—Sirius Black[src]The Slytherin family, like many of the pure-blood families, had some relation to many other families in the wizarding world. The Peverells, Gaunts, Blacks, Malfoys, Potters, Weasleys, Prewetts, and other families are all linked to one another through bloodlines and intermarriage.The only known direct descendants from Salazar Slytherin were the Gaunts, who for the most part shared their ancestor's beliefs in the purity of wizard blood. They also spoke in Parseltongue between themselves. Tom Marvolo Riddle was the last descendant of the Gaunt family and spoke Parseltongue as well.The Gaunt family was also descended from the Peverells, although it is unknown if one of the two infamous bloodlines preceded the other or if they simply merged at some prior point.Heirlooms[]The family held onto Salazar Slytherin's Locket for many generations, and in later years Marvolo Gaunt was in possession of a signet ring passed on from his Peverell ancestors. However, the locket left the family when Merope sold it to Borgin and Burkes in order to support herself while she was pregnant. It later came into the possession of Hepzibah Smith, whom a teenage Tom Marvolo Riddle killed and stole the locket from. Riddle eventually turned both artefacts into horcruxes; the locket was stolen from its hiding place by Regulus Black and later destroyed by Ron Weasley, while the ring was destroyed by Albus Dumbledore with Godric Gryffindor's Sword. The ring also contained the Resurrection Stone. wooowowooEtymology[]Slytherin may refer to the words "sly" as well as "slithering", which is the form of locomotion of snakes, possibly referring to their rare ability to talk to snakes called parseltongue.Appearances[]Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (First appearance)Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (film)Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (video game)Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (First identified as Slytherin family)Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
