The Deathly Hallows Symbol From Harry Potter

Hogwarts

I’ve seen people talking about the founders and why they build their school near the forest. After all that forest is filled with dangerous creatures, making a less than safe environment.

Honestly I think it was different.

When the school was build over a 1000 years ago, every forest had their magical creatures. They were spread out and able to stay under the radar most of the time.

However as the years progressed, forests were cut and areas became more populated by muggles.

This lead to creatures relocating. A forest next to a school that is cloaked for muggles seems like a pretty safe place for these creatures.

Of course with very few places left for them to safely roam, the forbidden forest became somewhat more dangerous than the average forest.

Naturally I could be wrong and the founders could have secretly been a little sadistic.

Has anyone else come across the fan theory that the Chamber of Secrets was actually Salazar Slytherin’s safe room for all the students in case the school was attacked? And that this would make the basilisk a protector? But the legend was twisted over time after Slytherin’s falling out with the other Hogwarts founders, and so the chamber was misused by bigots like Tom Riddle.

….Because I really like that idea.
