Is Hufflepuff considered to be "loser'y"?

On the train in the first book, when Harry was with Ron, Hermione and Neville, weren't they talking about which house they wanted to be in and nobody wanted Hufflepuff? I get the impression that Hufflepuff is looked down upon a little bit (sort of like the sorority that will "take anybody"

), even though that was, of course, not the founders' original intention.
"Hufflepuff" always made me think of "fat kids" too.
