Salazar Slytherin may have left Hogwarts in a snit after its founding, but in some ways, his legacy casts the longest of any of the founders’ shadows. That’s because his family line wasn’t just responsible for the creation of Hogwarts, but for another Wizarding school as well.

One of his direct descendants, Isolt Sayre, was born into a family that inherited their preference for pure-blood wizards from Slytherin. However, she rejected their views and escaped their controlling grasp on her life to start a new life in North America. There, she met her husband, a Muggle, James Steward, and they eventually formed the Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Its an ironic twist of fate that Mr.Pure Blood Himself would create a Lineage that eventually welcomed and encouraged the development of half-blood wizards.Its unclear how many Slytherins would even be aware of their founder's connection to the school across the pond.Suffice to say that it wouldnt have sat well with some of them.
