Salazar Slytherin was one of the co-founders of Hogwarts and was certainly a powerful wizard, but his obsession with pure-bloods sealed his fate as a rogue.

His darkest legacy, however, is the Chamber of Secrets, a secret trap meant to emit a killing Basilisk to terrorize students he considered unworthy long after he was dead. The fact that he continues to wreak havoc on Harry hundreds of years beyond his time makes him one of the franchise's most tenacious villains.
