Slytherin the house of apparent "evil." If you think about it the kids in Slytherin that went with Voldemort granted probably went with him because they were sick of being rejected. Nobody wanted to be friends with the Slytherins and automatically assumed them evil not to mention the fact that some were pressured by their parents such as Draco. Nobody considers the fact that his dad abuses him mentally and is often rough with him so nobody knows what happens behind closed doors.In my opinion people are way to quick to judge Slytherins without considering their pasts and the pressure put upon them.Thefore,Slytherins may be more misunderstood than bad.
If you look at Lily and James you notice they are very similar to Harry and Ginny.
Looks
Ginny has red hair and brown eyes. Harry has dark hair and green eyes. Switch them around... you get James and Lily! Lily has RED hair and GREEN eyes. James has DARK hair and BROWN eyes.
"I never really gave up on you"
Ginny had a crush on Harry. And James had a crush on Lily (mentioned by Snape, he did ask her out).
Both Lily and Harry showed no interest, but at some stage they fell for them.

Apart from that there is nothing that shows they're very similar.
