They weren’t particularly sly cunning or smart. Ambitious I’ll give you.

The book sets it up like slytherin and gryfindor are basically the same except one is evil.

    I am quoting the books with cunning and ambitious. It also mentions resourcefulness.

    It's just that the author is not that good with her craft and she made them Evil, shallow house in practice.

    Or maybe it's the other way, and she did that on purpose, so that the early children book has visible low stake antagonist Malfoy, who does not really matter compared to BBEG.

    I understand what you mean. They are said to be those traits but that is absolutely not portrayed in the book.

    So if you’re reading the books or watching the movie and thinking “I relate to those guys” all there is to relate to is being “bad”

    They don’t have anything else going for them in the story.

    Yeah the sorting hat sorta tells Harry slitherin folks are destined for big things (not necessarily good, but big) but then there's dumbfucks like crabbe and goyle in there who couldn't accomplish shit.

    Joanne Kowling Rowling didn't exactly stay consistent about things in those books.
