James Redmont:

You know, ever since the fifth year sorting hat song, I've thought 
since Hufflepuff took "all the rest", then maybe hufflepuff house is 
quite large...remember Harry when he was being sorted?  He said 
something like, 'If only there were a house for people who felt a 
bit queasy, that would be the house for him'.  Maybe not everyone is 
brave, smart, or looks good in green.  

Anyway, J.K. Rowling said there were about 1,000 kids at Hogwarts 
(unless she retracted that statement).  Maybe there are a lot of 
kids in Hufflepuff?
