Quote by J.K. Rowling
What if I'm in Slytherin?'The whisper was for his father alone, and Harry knew that only the moment of departure could have forced Albus to reveal how great and sincere that fear was.Harry crouched down so that Albus's face was slightly above his own. Alone of Harry's three children, Albus had inherited Lily's eyes.Albus Severus', Harry said quietly, so that nobody but Ginny could hear, and she was tactful enough to pretend to be waving to Rose, who was now on the train, 'you were named for two headmasters of Hogwarts. One of them was a Slytherin and he was probably the bravest man I ever knew'.
Summary
In this quote from J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," Harry Potter's son, Albus Severus, expresses his fear of being sorted into Slytherin house. Harry, understanding his son's concern, reassures him by sharing a personal insight. Harry tells Albus that he named him after two headmasters of Hogwarts, one of whom was a Slytherin and was also incredibly brave. The quote suggests that bravery can transcend house loyalties and that being sorted into Slytherin does not automatically make someone a bad or cowardly person.
