[HPforGrownups] In defense of JKR's view of Hufflepuff and (to a lesser degree) Ravenclaw

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.

That brings up a good point.  No offense to Hufflepuffs or Ravenclaws but without the trio and Draco Malfoy they aren't really that important.  They aren't really interesting and the story isn't in there point of view.  And as far as I'm concerned (yell at me if you'd like) I think that Cedric probably did win the Triwizard Cup...I Mean no he didn't...but on the same token he deserved it as much as Harry.  Had he lived he would have been a very important character.  I am looking for more Ravenclaws to be developed..in reality we have seen 2 members of that house that I can think of..Cho Chang and Penolpe Clearwater.  Both of them have been developed as romance prospects for Gryffindors....hmm...I wonder....LOL
