Go, teachers!  It's official: I may call myself Jenny from Ravenclaw, 
but I'm a Hufflepuff in reality.  This confirms it for me.    

Here's what I found a bit unsettling about the Sorting Hat's song: 
Hufflepuff *was* the only one to say "Ah, who cares what each kid 
brings?  Let's teach 'em all!  I don't care who I have in my house."  
We can debate whether or not the other founders only wanted certain 
kids to attend Hogwarts or simply certain kids in the Houses, but the 
fact remains that they *did* want to separate kids based on 
background/personality, not interests.  When people start establishing 
groups based on things that are uncontrolled, bad things are bound to 
happen, especially when it comes to education.
