The four founders of Hogwarts were Rowena Ravenclaw, Helga Hufflepuff, Godric Gryffindor and Salazar Slytherin. They decided to name the four houses Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, Slytherin and Gryffindor. Helga wanted kind students in Hufflepuff, Rowena wanted smart students in Ravenclaw, Godric wanted brave students in Gryffindor and Salazar wanted cunning students in Slytherin. Salazar only wanted pure blood students at hogwarts and Godric wanted all students so Salazar left leaving behind his chamber of secrets.
