"In the most basic sense, we know that these four people were the most skilled witches and wizards of their time, and they had a desire to create a structured magical education for young witches and wizards to learn what they felt was essential for a magical person. Though it was set up for any young person showing magical abilities before age 11 - and still is - there eventually was disagreeing among them that eventually drove them apart but not before leading them to split the school into houses."

"The four houses create a division of students while still being united within Hogwarts." It was an interesting system, she felt, with its own unique pros and cons. "Each house, as you likely know, reflects the traits that each of the founders valued most. While Hogwarts wouldn't turn away a student if they have magical ability, perhaps they would be more or less likely to be placed in a certain house." And that sometimes led to the stereotypes often associated with certain houses.

"So, let's start a discussion - The Founders set up their houses partially as an attempt to settle their differences. How do you feel things would be different - for the better or for the worse - if they had just agreed on things in the first place? Do you think that there would still be separate houses within the school? And do you think that having separate houses is more or less beneficial than not?" There were definite thoughts on either side and she'd like to hear what they thought before they moved on.

Angel looked at the Professor as she spoke to her. "I've been reading up on the ancient past and it was very interesting to say the least, after class I can give you some of the information on things." Angel said truthfully as she thought about life in the past.

Angel looked at the Professor and raised her hand. "I think that we wouldn't have a secret chamber, because Slytherin wouldn't have needed to do anything in secret." Angel said truthfully.
