Hello:

Quick Sorting question that came to me in the middle of an 
excruciatingly exhausting FH practice this evening...

If Slytherin House is the house for cunning people who 'use any means 
to achieve their ends', what are a couple of dunderheads like Crabbe 
and Goyle doing in there?  There's the possibility that it just might 
have been the one best suited for them, but it still seems a bit odd 
that two boys who appear to have half the brains of a stegosaurus 
between them are in a House for "cunning" people.

Just a thought.
