Er. The list on the board... Raiden stared at it for a moment before speaking up.

"Sir, I think... that Salazar Slytherin was motivated by fear, not power. In my opinion, the things he did were done out of the fear that Muggles and Muggleborns would take over Wizarding Society, pollute the bloodlines, and bring an end to magic as a whole. I don't believe he was seeking power, but searching for a way to preemptively halt that which he found threatening." Hmmm. "And Fenrir Greyback, I believe he was motivated solely by power, because... well he used his werewolf illness to inspire fear in others. He used fear, but I don't think he himself was motivated by it. I think it was all about power over others for him." Nod. "And The Gaunt Family, they were motivated by fear. At least, I believe that. Their actions seemed to be along the same lines as Salazar Slytherin's: they kinda came off like they feared their bloodlines being tainted by Muggles or Muggleborns."

Maybe. Possibly. Raiden was done talking now though; his face turned a little pink and he sank down in his chair ever so slightly. A few of his opinions seemed to be the opposite of his classmates'.
