    I always get place in Hufflepuff. I'm more than thrilled about that.

    I don't have a clue where I'd be. Is there a way for me to get sorted without joining Pottermore?

    No. Unless you take a crappy online quiz.

    I actually really liked Pottermore's quiz. There were a few questions that you could tell which has was which, but mostly they're completely ambiguous. You can get to the sorting chapter pretty quickly, though.

    I like the name Ravenclaw, so that would be the house I imagine myself getting sorted into.

    I would like to say Ravenclaw, just to fit in with everyone else, but realistically I would be a member of Slytherin.

    Slyntherin - ambitious and cunning. I like helping others, but only if they are in my circle. I haven't taken any quizzes or gone to Pottermore; just going by the books.

    Actually the cunning part isn't true. I am pretty honest like Hufflepuffs but my ambitions is slightly higher than any honesty, modesty, or loyality a Hufflepuff offers.

    Actually the thread was not about Pottermore. I did not know this quiz exists - or forgot it. It is more like what you think which of your characteristics are distinctive. So just say it, you don't need to test it.

    I don't understand why Slytherin gets so much hate. The books make it pretty clear that there are just as many good witches and wizards in Slytherin as there are any other house. Cunning and ambition don't have to be "evil" personality traits.

    Slytherin just gets hate because every Slytherin we meet in the books is an asshole. Snape redeems himself but he's still an asshole. Slughorn could be the exception I guess.

    I think she probably made Slughorn a good guy (who had his demons and faults) to specifically counter-act Snape killing Dumbledore at the end of the book. Saying: See, not everybody from Slytherin is bad. They're just people.

    Like, Slughorn steals some of P. Sprout's plants (or at least the leaves) and he smooth talks his way into getting Eragog's poison. Cunning? Yes. Terrible? Not really. I don't think him doing that is really anything worse than Harry ever did.

    Gryffindor's full of jerks too, but since the story is from the perspective of Harry, as well as Gryffindor as a whole, we are on their side.

    yeah, I'm not saying there are NO non-evil people in Slytherin. they just get lavished with hate because, well, the two most prominent representatives of Slytherin House (besides Voldy, obviously) in Harry's life are Snape and Draco Malfoy. and they're both complete dicks to Harry for the vast majority of the series (Malfoy comes around, not that that excuses him from previous transgressions)

    whatev i'm just ravenclawing

    i might like ravenclaw partly because they're relatively underrepresented in the books and we learn relatively little about them.

    When I think of Snape being such a *insert bad word here* I automatically think of James, Sirius and the others mocking him. He definitely made his mistakes like becoming a Death Eater and all but when I think about what lead him to his mistakes and that he still was a good guy he is no good "evil people in Slytherin" example, if you ask me. He is one of those characters like Harry and Dumbledore which are shown to have their dark sides or troublesome past and who still are the greatest heroes in their world. I mean - even Draco was just some coward who did what he did because he grew up in an intolerant family and he just did not want to get killed by Voldemort.
