:-)...Did I ever say anything negative about the traits of either house? I 
merely meant that Myrtle does not have Slytherin traits (ambition...she 
seemed like she never really had any real goals other than fitting in. Hardy 
ambitious. And Slytherin "you'll make real friends"...Not Myrtle~). She is 
certainly hard-working...She spent all that time haunting Olive Hornby! I 
categorize that as hard-working rather than cunning as it seems like it took 
more work than planning. It also takes quite a bit of patience to sit around 
a toilet and wait for Harry Potter to show up! ^_^
