I answered (stupidly):
>>3.	What does the Hat do with a pureblood child who is brave,  cunning and 
>>intelligent?  Is this child a Hufflepuff?

Er, you mean like Hermione?  She went into Gryffindor.

IObvioulsy, I'm an idiot.  She's soooo not a pureblood.  Duh.  I *meant* to 
bring up Sirius.  I just had a brain lapse from brain to keyboard.  Er...yeah.

And now that I think on it more...even James seems to fit this bill. 
  
Percy, too (He's brave in a way because he rebelled against his family, 
cunning because he's only two years out of school and shadowing the 
Minister, ane intelligent because we all heard how he got 12 OWLs, which 
was superb.  He just doesn't seem very wise....)

Well, perhaps I am off the mark a bit because you asked about one who is 
"intelligent".  But really---Ravenclaws are those 'of wit and lerning'.  But I still 
think all three of these apply.  James and Sirius (and also Fred and George) 
just perhaps set their minds and learning wits to things they thought were 
most helpful.  (Becoming an animagus...inventing pranks....)

Enough from me...
