Hufflepuffs have evil potential?

Well, I think that the few loyal ones were NOT slytherin, because

I see your point there. When I asked what else made you think this, I 
was just trying to see it from your point of view. I like to know 
what points lead others to their conclusions. (and I think I am 
losing ground very badly on the Godric's Hollow discussion ... but 
don't tell them I said that)

Also, does anyone know if it says anywhere in the books that Peter

Steve Vander Ark has Peter Pettigrew listed as being in Gryffindor in 
his Lexicon. I will ask him where he got his information. He does not 
put anything in the Lexicon unless it is based on canon, to my 
knowledge.

And from what we've heard about James, he seems the type to befriend 
someone from another house, especially weak, defenseless Huffs. And 
Wormtail *was* one of the semi-loyal DE.....
***************
Now that I think about Pettigrew in this light, of your idea, 
Pettigrew does *not* fit the brave Gryffindor definition either... so 
why would your idea about the other DE be wrong? Why not Hufflepuff? 
I think you are right that they might not be Slytherin if they 
remained loyal no matter what. Slytherins seem to me to be a tad on 
the shallow side. What about them being Ravenclaw? What are your 
thoughts on that?

though everything says it's wrong~ it's not over til it's over.

Or, you could write, "The Motorcycle Song" ... I don't want a 
pickle... just want to ride my motorcycle...
