Thanks, U_P_D, and you do match the Lexicon, but what I was trying to 
get at was more than just what is on the coat of arms. For example, 
neither Fawkes nor the Basilisk are on their house's coat of arms, 
although the snake on Slytherin could look very similar to a basilisk, 
which is also described as serpentine.

My broader question is, why do Slytherin and Gryffindor get to have 
all of the fun? They have very established identities, we know many of 
their members quite well, they even have living beasts (ok, the 
basilisk is now dead) that were left by their founders. Will we ever 
see those things for Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff?

And as a side note I was wondering if Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff left 
behind any magical creatures ("beasts") that are still alive, waiting 
to be called to action like Fawkes and the basilisk.
