Myth 4: All blondes go to Slytherin
Chapter 4

"[Rowling] is trying to make this Nazi [connection]," he said. "It’s an easy win for a writer, if you want to identify the bad guys -- especially in the United Kingdom, to identify the bad guys, you make Hitler connections. Yeah, it’s been 70 years since the war, but that’s just a given in the United Kingdom that Nazis are bad, and those who resist the Nazis are good, and an easy token for Nazis is being blonde haired and blue eyed."
So, yeah -- once again, Draco being our entry point into Slytherin house has clouded our judgment, as most of the folks that populate Slytherin house do not look like Nazis.
