I really hate that we don't know any more about Ravenclaw and 
hufflepuff. I think it's a shame that they don't get to even root for 
themselves (except when Hufflepuff roots for Cedric.) If Ravenclaw is 
so smart, why don't THEY win the house championship, seeing that they 
OUGHT to win lots of points in class? 

How on earth did Slytherin ever win the house championship? i've 
never seen them win even a point... Nor have a seen anyone do 
anything that Slytherin ought to be able to win points for. 

Go Ravenclaw! Three cheers for Hufflepuff! Bravery is great, and 
cunning is all well and good, but give me loyalty and intelligence 
any day.
