The Houses Mystery

Im sorry if this has been discussed before, but I dont get as much time as 
I would like to read pervious messages.

Ive often been puzzled by the contradiction between Hagrids assertion that 
all the dark wizards came from Sythenian house and the existence of Peter 
Pettigrew, who was a close friend of James Potter and a dark wizard, 
betraying them.  If he was, as is genially assumed, in Gryfindor, then he 
should not have been a dark wizard, and if he was in Sythenian, why would he 
and James be friends?  Harry and Co. appear to have no close friends from 
any of the other houses.    I think I have solved that problem.

If you want, like Voldemort, to be a dark wizard, you need ambition and the 
willingness to bend or break the rules in pursuit of your goal.  All 
Sythenian traits, but you dont have to be evil to bend the rules; Barty 
Crouch Sr. was prepared to order the use of the unforgivable curses to fight 
Voldemort, and Sirus defined him as powerful and ambitious, all Sythenian 
traits.  We dont know for sure what house he was in, but Ill bet ten 
gallons (Id better win, I dont have ten gallons) that he was a Sythenian.

Now, Barty Crouch Jr, who bravely attempted to free Voldemort and lied for 
him (something Hermione did for Harry) and therefore exhibited Gryfindor 
traits.  Was he in Gryfindor?  We dont know, but I suspect that he was.

Snape, who was in Sythenian, showed no loyalty to Voldemort and betrayed him 
to Dumbledore.  Lucis Malfloy did not search for Voldemort either.

Therefore, I think that only the boss dark wizards have to be in Sythenian, 
such as Tom Riddle, and they corrupt the other houses, using their traits to 
ensnare them.

Thoughts?

Chris
