前言+雷古勒斯布莱克
蛇院的厌恶者总在厌恶。但事实上许多令人惊奇的巫师都出自这里。就是这样。（原文是So there,不清楚有没有什么其他翻译）
Slytherin-haters gonna hate. But this Hogwarts house actually produced some amazing wizards. So there.
海格曾声称，没有一个不是蛇院的巫师变坏，我们不愿意去反对他，但是他有一点点错了。抱歉，海格。
这里有六位被我们认为十分出彩的蛇院典范。当然，我们不可能去和斯内普打十瓶保龄球（不清楚为什么要这么写）或其他什么的，但你不能否认没有卓越的才华和美好在他们心中。
We hate to go against Hagrid, who professed that there was ‘not a single witch or wizard who went bad who wasn’t in Slytherin’, but he was kind of wrong. Sorry, Hagrid.
Here are six Slytherin specimens who we’d argue actually were pretty wonderful. Okay, we wouldn’t go ten-pin bowling with Snape or anything, but you can’t deny that there wasn’t extraordinary talent and goodness in their hearts.
1. 雷古勒斯布莱克
我知道在你看到这些的时候我已经去世很长时间了，但我想让你知道我发现了你的秘密。我偷走了真正的魂器并且想要尽快摧毁它。当你遇到你的对手时你将再次变为凡人，直面死亡的我如此希望。
R.A.B
摘自《哈利波特与混血王子》
To the Dark Lord
I know I will be dead long before you read this but I want you to know that it was I who discovered your secret. I have stolen the real Horcrux and intend to destroy it as soon as I can. I face death in the hope that when you meet your match, you will be mortal once more.
R. A.B.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
将哈利和邓校指向伏地魔魂器之一的著名的R.A.B.最终被证明是哈利教父小天狼星布莱克的兄弟：雷古勒斯大角星布莱克。雷古勒斯是一个悔过但却为时已晚的食死徒。在小天狼星对于他弟弟的记忆中看起来既没有喜爱也没有积极部分，但哈利发现雷古勒斯是在无限的勇敢行动中英勇牺牲的。他将自己牺牲给了窃走伏地魔魂器之一的伟大事业并且用赝品代替了斯莱特林挂坠盒。
Regulus was a Death Eater who had second thoughts all too late. Sirius’s memories of his brother seemed to be neither fond nor positive, yet Harry discovered that Regulus died in an act of boundless bravery. He sacrificed himself to steal one of Voldemort’s Horcruxes, and replaced Slytherin’s locket with a fake.
企图变好和使你的整个生命变得崇高伟大是一回事（这是金山翻译的版本），但当伏地魔是你的主人时，翻开新的一页，这是另外一回事。诚然，雷古勒斯派克利切去支持伏地魔（英文的表达很好可翻译成汉语后意思总还是少了点），但是这个家养小精灵的苦难经历看起来给了雷古勒斯转折点。他背叛了伏地魔并且他还是个天才巫师（伏地魔的防御可不容易被打破）。因为以上这些，我们向雷古勒斯致敬。
It’s one thing trying to be good and noble your whole life, but it’s a whole other thing to turn over a new leaf when Lord Voldemort is your master.
Yes, Regulus volunteere

Yes, Regulus volunteered Kreacher to Voldemort, but the house-elf’s ordeal seemed to have been a tipping point for Regulus. He defected and was clearly a gifted wizard (Voldemort’s defences were not easily broken). For that, we salute Regulus.

西弗勒斯 斯内普
刚开始，教授作为典型的蛇院出场。看到每一根油腻而又乌黑的头发以及每个针对哈利的嘲弄评价，你可以原谅罗恩和赫敏认为教授就是很刻薄的行为。
In the beginning, Severus appeared to fit the blueprint of a stereotypical Slytherin. With every flick of his greasy dark hair and every snide remark aimed at Harry, Ron or Hermione you could have been forgiven for thinking Snape was just mean.
并且他的确是！但是教授在哈利度过的霍格沃兹时光中也尽力做了许多好事。他从孩童时代对哈利的妈妈莉莉一见钟情并且爱她直到他去世那一刻。
And yes he was! But Severus was also trying to do good throughout Harry’s years at Hogwarts. He knew Harry’s mother Lily from childhood and loved her from then until his death.
但教授并不仅仅因为他巨大的牺牲而成为伟大的巫师，他也是在魔药方面的完美主义者以及天赋秉异的摄神取念师。他只是有一点点粗暴，就是这样。
But Severus wasn’t just a great wizard for his enormous sacrifices; he was also a perfectionist in Potions and an exceptionally talented Legilimens. He was just a bit grumpy, that’s all.

梅林
分院帽从没说过斯莱特林都是一大堆坏人——他们只不过狡黠并且对成功有着固执的渴求。让我们来看看有史以来最著名最受尊敬的巫师，梅林。梅林，我的朋友！还需要我多言吗？
The Sorting Hat never said that Slytherins were a big bunch of baddies – that merely they were cunning and determined to succeed. Just take a look at one of the most famous and most respected wizards of all time, Merlin. Merlin, people! Need we say more?
霍拉斯·斯拉格霍恩
霍拉斯在刚开始可不是什么好解决的存在。魔药大师、斯莱特林、有点攀龙附凤的成分，告了伏地魔一些魂器的知识，嗯......说实话，他在刚开始有点摇摆不定。
但是霍拉斯的确展示出他才华上的光芒，比如他在霍格沃兹之战中发挥的作用，以及 在阿拉格的葬礼过后他成为海格的完美饮伴—— 这都是值得称赞的行动，即使他显然看上了八眼蜘蛛的毒液，想要减少一些额外花销。
Yet Slughorn did show flashes of brilliance, such as for his turn at the Battle of Hogwarts, and offering himself as an excellent drinking partner for Hagrid after Aragog’s funeral – both were equally commendable actions, even though he was clearly after that Acromantula venom for a little extra spending money.

安多米达 唐克斯
小天狼星最喜欢的堂姐以及尼法朵拉 唐克斯的名副其实的母亲不仅在斯莱特林而且也在她的家庭中十分出色——最古老最高贵的布莱克一族。
她的sister纳西莎 马尔福 和贝拉特里克斯·莱斯特兰奇与纯血统巫师结婚但是安多米达与麻瓜出身的泰德 唐克斯结婚，因此她在布莱克家谱树收获了一个烧毁标记。为自己的信仰代言需要付出很多；并且虽然我们希望我们可以在书中看到更多的安多米达的内容，她的女儿是她和泰德的骄傲。
Sirius’s ‘favourite cousin’ and Nymphadora Tonks’s flamboyantly-named mother didn’t just stick out from the Slytherins, but also from her own family – the ‘Noble and Most Ancient House of Black.’
Her sisters, Narcissa Malfoy and Bellatrix Lestrange, married pure-bloods but Andromeda married Muggle-born Ted Tonks, thus earning her a burn mark on the Black family tapestry. Standing up for what you believe in takes a lot of doing; and while we wish we’d seen more of Andromeda in the books, her daughter was a credit to her and Ted.
特别提到：伊索 瑟尔
虽然伊索从未被分入斯莱特林，但她是萨拉查 斯莱特林的继承人，这实际上是一张戴上祖母绿宝石的单程票。如果她实现梦想进入霍格沃兹，那么在她斯莱特林血统的紧密联系和被分入拉文克劳的童年梦想之间将会有一场势均力敌的赛跑。
后来（不清楚Just as well怎么翻）她又创立了他自己的学校：北美巫师学校，伊法魔尼。虽然她被谋犯格姆雷冈特带大，伊索并没有成长为渴望纯血世界的巫师或者反对麻瓜、麻鸡的人。事实上，她与麻瓜结婚，永远地中断了斯莱特林的纯血线。如果老伏知道就好了。
Although Isolt was never sorted into Slytherin, she was a descendant of Salazar Slytherin, which is practically a one-way ticket to wearing emerald. Had she ever got her wish to attend Hogwarts, it would have been a close-run race between her Slytherin blood ties and her childhood wish to be sorted into Ravenclaw.
Just as well she created her own school then: the North American wizarding school, Ilvermorny. Despite being brought up by the murderous Gormlaith Gaunt, Isolt did not grow up to desire a pure-blood world or to despise Muggles and No-Majs. In fact, she married one, breaking the purity of the Slytherin bloodline once and for all. If only Tom Riddle Jr knew.

补图

（此篇完）

It took a long time to understand Severus Snape.
从相见到相知，我们花了很长时间去了解教授。
教授的记忆之路使得他在哈利心中的形象由冷言冷语的魔药大师变成了“他所见过的最勇敢的人。”我们近距离接触《死亡圣器》内改变了一切的章节。
A walk inside Snape’s memories transformed him in Harry’s mind from sniping Potions master to ‘the bravest man he ever knew’. We take a closer look at the chapter from Deathly Hallows that changed everything.

王子的故事
教授在伏地魔的命令下赴死，并且哈利看到了全过程。在他垂死的时刻，他让哈利带走他的记忆并且再看他最后一次。然后伏地魔的声音穿过了走廊，挑衅般地让哈利于一小时内去禁林见他。这即是终结。
然后哈利去了校长室并且发现了冥想盆。
陈列柜中石质的冥想盆仍在它原来的地方：哈利将它举到桌子上并且将教授的眼泪倒入于边缘饰有北欧文字的宽阔的水面。
作为孩子，哈利，罗恩以及赫敏将讥讽、严厉的教授看做反面角色-怀恨的魔药大师，在地下室内熬魔药。作为成人，他们发现教授是一个极其复杂的人。
在《死亡圣器》内，当哈利靠近冥想盆时，他悲痛不已，被战争创伤。他事实上进入了教授的记忆中，并且发现了一个瘦脸小男孩，认识一个叫莉莉的小女孩（不会翻译once）。哈利的妈妈和教授是童年伙伴。在他们小小的麻瓜城市Cokeworth中长大，魔力将他们紧密联系，就像其他孩子玩玩具那样。
在霍格沃兹，这对朋友被分入了不同的学院，之后教授还站错了队。不仅仅是坏青年，还是有史以来最可怕的黑巫师的未来支持者。在这段记忆中哈利看到了教授与邓布利多就预言的疯狂讨论，还有他如何乞求一种使莉莉免遭伏地魔伤害的方法，之后，她的死亡使他转而独善其身。（第二个版本是，她的死亡使他寄希望于哈利）。试想象，从一个杀人犯的魔爪中逃脱，然后直接与他作对。这是要走一条多么危险的道路啊！
‘The Prince’s Tale’
Professor Snape is dead on Voldemort’s orders, and Harry saw it all. In his dying moments, he told Harry to take his memories and look at him one last time. Voldemort’s voice then sounded through the corridors, challenging Harry to meet him in the Forbidden Forest in an hour. This is the end.
Harry then goes to the headmaster’s office and finds the Pensieve:
The stone Pensieve lay in the cabinet where it had always been: Harry heaved it on to the desk and poured Snape’s memories into the wide basin with its runic markings around the edge. To escape into someone else’s head would be a blessed relief...nothing that even Snape had left him could be worse than his own thoughts.
Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows
As children, Harry, Ron and Hermione had looked at the sarcastic and strict Professor Snape as something of a pantomime villain – the bitter Potions master, stewing in the dungeons. As adults, they learn Snape is far more complex.
In Deathly Hallows, when Harry approached the Pensieve, he was grief-stricken and broken by battle. He practically fell into Snape’s memories, and discovered a little thin-faced boy who once knew a girl called Lily. Harry’s mother and Snape were childhood friends. Growing up in their tiny Muggle town of Cokeworth, they bonded over their magical powers like other kids do over toys.
Once at Hogwarts the two friends were sorted into different houses,

and later Snape fell in with the wrong crowd. Not just the usual teenage reprobates, but future supporters of the most powerful Dark wizard of all time.
In these memories Harry saw Snape’s frantic conferences with Dumbledore about the prophecy and how he begged for some way to keep Lily safe from Voldemort; and later, when her death made him wish for his own. Imagine squeezing out of the grasp of a murderer, and then working directly against him. What a tightrope to walk along.

先贴上最后一段原文，翻译见楼中楼
It’s almost like Snape created a kind of butterfly effect across all the books. It was Snape who overheard the prophecy that would go on to define Lord Voldemort and Harry Potter’s lives for years afterwards. The prophecy can be seen as the catalyst for everything; it led to the death of Lily, his great love, and Snape spent the entire course of Harry’s (and his own) life trying to make amends. If you think about it, Snape could be seen as the greatest instigator of the story’s events.
