Thank you for posting that....it's interesting and there are a lot of thought provoking questions... I would like to discuss this one:
Are all the Slytherins nasty and ugly? Do they all turn into Dark Wizards? Then what happens if you're sorted into Slytherin but you're NOT evil? Are you just out of luck?
And also, obviously, each house has a "reputation"..
Slytherin - the "bad kids house"
Gryffindor - the "good kids house"
Ravenclaw - the "smart kids house" (but they are also "good). (i.e. remember when that Ravenclaw kid asks Hermione why she did not become a Ravenclaw and she said that the Sorting Hat did want to put her there initially? My thinking is that the Sorting Hat could "see" her fledgling friendships with Harry and Ron and thus, put her in the G-House).
What is
Hufflepuff's reputation? The 'fat kid' house? (i.e. the "puff" is making me think that). I seem to recall that in the "new Sorting Hat song", Helga Hufflepuff vowed to "train the lot" or something, which leads me to think that Hufflepuff is a very PC house and not very discriminating (although they are still essentially "good" people, cuz all the baddies go to
Slytherin)....thoughts? Is Hufflepuff considered to be "loser'y"?
