<<<Yes, I am suggesting that Ron (who comes from a

could easily go back to a certain Miss Ravenclaw) is
the heir of that
bloodline. I'm still a little how Hermione ended up
here (coming from a
Muggle family) but it does seem to follow that she's
either the heir, or
the image of, Miss Hufflepuff.>>>

And now me, that is Odile, peers up from the the
bottom of the tree to write:

Er, how is that you came to believe that Ron is the
possible heir of Ravenclaw?  And that Hermione is the
heir of Helga Hufflepuff?  Their first initials? 
<--not to be snerky, honest!  

I ask because, according to the hypothesis?-
hypothosis?- er, *theory* of the whole heir issue,
Harry Potter may be Godric Gryffindor's heir because
GG and HP share similar traits (bravery, daring,
etc.); just as Tom Riddle/Lord Voldemort is Salazar
Slytherin's heir (cunning, general nastiness, etc.)

Ravenclaws are the intellectuals - the air signs, if
you follow the astrological association; just as
Hufflepuffs are the earth signs: loyal, steadfast,
"down to earth."  (Gryffs would be the fire signs &
Slyths the water signs, to finish the thought.)

So, I am interested to know how you came to think of
Ron as Ravenclaw's heir when he is not exactly a star
pupil and Hermione as Hufflepuff's heir when, although
she is indeed loyal, she is also brave and daring
enough for Gryffindor.

Odile,
