Besides, it seems reasonable that there's a lot more people in this 
world who do the work (Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs) than get the 
glory (Gryffindors) or at least the notoriety (Slytherins). 

I'd never thought of it like that, but it certainly makes sense. But I 
would say that there'd be more Hufflepuffs and Slytherins, and less 
Gryffindors and Ravenclaw. I'm not trying to be cynical there, but IMO 
 the majority of the people who work hard, most do it either for other 
people (Hs) or to help themselves succeed (Ss), rather than just for 
the sake of learning.



Eric:"I'm quite sure that had HP and his pals been at the site of 
the WTC attack, they'd have been pulling people out of the windows the 
firemen couldn't reach and getting them to the ground 
via broomstick...and the devil take the risk of Azkaban.  For somebody 
as nice as they are, the knowledge that they could have done 
something, but didn't because of some fiddling wizard law, would have 
been worse torment than anything a dementor could ever have done."

Maybe it's silly, but I like to think they were. Not HP specifically, 
but someone, someone who has the power to change things. Call it God, 
or angels, or fairies, or whatever you like. I like to think there 
must have been someone there.
