Hmmm... got me there. I didn't want to muck up the list with a short 
answer like that, but I didn't want to just ignore your answer, 
either. So, the ones who turned tail and returned to their non-Voldy 
jobs were probably not loyal or Hufflepuffs. So, what else makes you 
think that those who were loyal, such as the couple who are still in 
Azkaban, were Hufflepuffs? Now you have me curious too.
Doreen, who hates admitting she is wrong.
