Oh. Odd. In my swedish translation they don't mentione Dean at all 
during that moment. Only three people are left to be sorted, it's 
said - Lisa Turpin gets to be a Ravenclaw, Ron (to his great relief) 
is a Gryffindor, and it ends with Blaise Zambini being sorted a 
Slytherin. No sight of Dean.
 I think I've seen something about this discussed before...wasn't it 
an error in Philospoher's Stone, three people is said to be left but 
four are sorted? Maybe the swedish translator simply changed it as 
she though fitting *grumbling*.

Very well. Thanks for the answer, Rita :)
