Lee -- he's brave enough to stand up to McGonagall when match commentating
AND has a Big Scary Spider in PS/SS when they're getting on the train.

Seamus and Dean are minor characters, but they both seem courageous enough
-- I'm sure there are instances of them standing up to Malfoy, Crabbe &
Goyle.

for Slytherin and not hard-working enough for Hufflepuff. Gryffindor...House
Of Beefcake. ::Ravenclawesque grin::

Hey, any women brave enough to go to a ball with Gred and Forge (sorry
Jana...) are Gryffindors in my book. I read them as pretty much female
Weasleys, although that may be the fic reader in me.
