So far there's, what, three other people now that the 7dragons hat has put
into Hufflepuff for reasons unknown.  I think it has a Hufflepuff quota to
meet every day ^_^

That's my problem with it too.  The questions are a bit too cut-and-dried.
For instance:
> I don't like:
> 1) comic books 2) historical nonfiction

I happen to love both, so I have to decide "okay, is the question asking me
to choose escapism/reality or fun/work? how am I feeling about both today?
what is the hat most likely to think if I pick 1 or 2? where do I *want* it
to sort me?"  (Granted, there's not going to *be* a perfect Hat, so this is
really just pointless whining ^_^)

For the person who was looking for other Hats, there's one here:

It's a very easy one to manipulate because each question has a Hufflepuff
answer, a Gryffindor answer, a Ravenclaw answer, and a Slytherin answer, so
I find it works best with people who are new to Harry Potter and don't
already know where they'd like to be.
