generational parallels

There's been a lot flying around concerning generational parallels between 
the MWPP and HRH groups, but I'm curious about the parallels back to the 
founders of Hogwarts. If we take it that LV represents the heir of Slytherin 
and that Harry likely is the heir of Gryffindor, I find it lacking that we 
would not have heirs for both Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw.

The reason this nags at me is that we hear the new S-hat song at the 
beginning of OOTP and it bespeaks the need for the four houses to re-unite. 
I don't believe it is possible to re-emerge with a common goal (originally 
to educate wizards) solely on the basis of two representatives in the 
current era for this to be true.

If so, who would these representatives be? I think that Luna is a good start 
for Ravenclaw - she was brought in a much more well-formed character than 
other students we've met over the past couple years and has definitely 
played a role that is more than window dressing.

I'm struggling with a Hufflepuff, Justin and Ernie don't work and I feel 
like we need the m/f balance that we see in original four (2 men, 2 women). 
So, out of the characters we've met that would leave Susan Bones and Hannah 
Abbott as some of the more well-realized ones.

I've not fleshed this idea out further, but would be interested in 
thoughts/commentary, etc.
