<"You could be in any one of three houses. Suzanne's definition would
put you in Ravenclaw, Dave's would put you in Gryffindor, and mine would
put you in Hufflepuff."

Exactly - where do I go?>


Let's see, the three houses would fight over you until you either
graduated or Slytherin sneaked off with you <bg>. But seriously, this
just means the hat would take longer to sort you than some. It might
even let you choose your house.

That's actually the reason, in my quiz, I let the sortee pick their first
and last choice. When I tally the results, if there is a tie between
houses (one of which is their first choice), I give them their first
choice. And I won't put them in their last choice, no matter what.

As an aside, I sometimes regret that Harry is the only one we've seen
"converse" with the Sorting Hat. I'd love to see the dialogue between
the hat and other characters. For example, I'd like to see the process
in choosing Neville's house (since the book mentions that it took a long
time to sort him). And I can picture it for Hermione:

Hat: Hmmm! Very intelligent, and a hunger to learn. You'd do well
in Ra---.

Hermione: Gryffindor, please, Gryffindor!

Hat: Gryffindor, huh? Yes, I do see that untapped courage. Well, if
you're sure...

Hermione: Yes, I want to be a Gryffindor.

Hat: Well then...GRYFFINDOR!

PS: In answer to your original question, Neil, you're a Gryffindor in
my book (though my definition put your type in Hufflepuff).
