Slytherin, Salazer

(Salazer Slytherin, Salazer, Slytherin) The founder of the Slytherins house, a parseltoungue.

Origin:

Salazer - Antonio Salazar was the fascist dictator of Portugal for 36 years until his death in 1968. Though never officially an ethnic cleanser, he was a colonialist, who ruthlessly put down ethnic uprisings his his country's colonies in Africa. His name is perhaps used as a reference to the dictators past, such as Hitler, who believed in ethnic purity, just as Slytherin did.
