*grin* I think lots of people feel the exact same way Sofie. If you read 
fanfic, many people tackle this; it's quite an interesting topic since we 
*don't* have the best idea of the other houses.

However since Harry is a Gryffindor, it makes sense that most of the 
characters we see are Gryffindors. Gryffindors are his "family", most of his 
time is spent with them. But it's still a little...hm...one-sided? to see so 
much emphasis placed on them. Especially if you're someone who identifies 
with the dominant characteristics of a different house. Perhaps JKR will 
gravitate away from this trend in the next three books?

I've always wondered if things would've been different if there had been no 
separate common rooms for the individual houses. Instead of the Gryffindor 
common room or Hufflepuff common room, there be a Hogwarts common room. 
Maybe characters in other houses would have gotten more "on-screen" time and 
more inter-house friendships.

Death is not simple, it never is. But without love, the world becomes a 
hell; a twisting cavern of self-doubt and self-destruction. At that point, 
death is very easy compared to the exquisite torture of being unloved. And 
easy is a close cousin to simple.
