Hey brother!

Okay, here's the thing.

For Salazar Slytherin to have had an air

that extends all the way down to Tom Riddle,

then Slytherin himself must have had a child,

which also means there must have been a Mrs. Slythron, right?

But given that the founders existed, you know, a thousand years prior to the days of Harry's time at school, our knowledge base of the dating pool during that time is

Slim to say the least. We know the bloody baron liked Helena Ravenclaw

That's about it. I suppose Helga Hufflepuff and Rowena Ravenclaw herself could have been potential

bachelorette for Salazar, but it does feel like that would have stood out as its own significant piece of

lore.

Plus if it was Helga, then that would mean that Hepsipa Smith was also a descendant of Slytherin, which, I mean to be

fair, she did at one point possess both Hufflepuffs

cup and Slytherin's locket, so... No, I'm just kidding. I do not think Helga and Salazar

ended up together, but I do think it's possible that we have met Mrs. Slitheron without ever realizing it in the form of the Basilisk.

Because as we all know from the Fantastic Beast movies, there is a certain type of blood curse known as a maladdiction that can affect female wizards and slowly force them to transform into some kind of beast permanently.
