Hummm...well HarryPotter.com says I'm Slytherin.  Are
you sure you want to give that many points away?  :D

Actually you make some good points that I have to
agree with.  I'd completely forgotten about
Finch-Fletchley apologizing to Harry at the end of CoS
(Now I have to go dig my book out and read it again). 
You're right also in saying that the books are from
Harry's POV so he would be more concerned with the
Houses that affect him the most.  I don't think we
have even heard of any of them taking any classes with
the Ravenclaws and only Herbology with Hufflepuff so
there doesn't seem to be much interaction with them
anyway.  OTOH they do have both Potions and Care of
Magical Creatures and in first year Flying Lessons
with the Sytherins so we hear more about them. Just
MHO.
