Me (Cheekyweebisom):
Oh, sure. I'm sorry if I seemed brusque; the "Slytherins are ESE!" 
statements really get to me, though. It just seems SO simplistic. 
I'm interested in why so many people think/thought Sirius was a 
Slytherin. I don't get it at all: he's not particularly 
cunning or ambitious, though he IS very, very brave (and is 
described as such by DD himself), he was best friends with James, 
and his mother hates him. These all seem to point to Gryffindor, 
don't they? What points to Slytherin? I'm very curious.
