Derek:
Here's something else to ponder...

Through five books thus far, we have never encountered, nor have
the characters apparently encountered, a single child who was
disappointed by the house choice the Sorting Hat made for them.
Of course, that doesn't mean there aren't any.  But it's telling
nonetheless, IMO.  I suspect the Sorting Hat puts *all* the kids
in the house they wish to be in...
