Dumbledore says that "Heart" is what Harry has in abundance and what
Voldemort lacks. I started thinking about what the word actually
means, and here are some of the definitions of the word heart from
the American Heritage Dictionary:
*The seat of the intellect or imagination (Ravenclaw?)
*Courage; resolution; fortitude (Gryffindor?)
*The firmness of will or the callousness required to carry out an
unpleasant task or responsibility (Slytherin?)
*A person esteemed or admired as lovable, loyal, or courageous
(Hufflepuff?)
The Sorting Hat says that for Hogwarts to survive, the houses must
be united. Is there something to the fact that the characteristics
of each house can all be summed up with the same word? Heart means
much more than just "love."
