slytherin's background is first discussed by professor binns in "harry potter and the chamber of secrets" (and by professor mcgonagall in the film version and professor flitwick in the computer game). he describes the founding of the school and the schism which developed between slytherin and the other founders, and he mentions that the castle was founded far from muggles because, at that time, common people feared magic and persecuted suspected wizards and witches. slytherin wanted magical learning restricted to all-magical families, as he believed muggle-born students to be untrustworthy and he disliked teaching such students. according to ancient legend, slytherin was responsible for the construction of the chamber of secrets. this chamber contained a magical creature, the basilisk, susceptible to control by the heir of slytherin, and left there to purge the school of all muggle-born students. this occurred shortly before infighting among the four founders broke out and resulted in slytherin's departure.
