It's a weird thing to do, but I'll answer my own post instead of all
the posts which disagree with me.

I failed to convey my meaning properly. But most of all, I forgot to
mention one very important thing :

I love the Hufflepuffs.

If I had to make my choice of a House, I'd be torn between my ambition
which would turn me towards Ravenclaw (I'm the brainy type), and my
heart which would take me to Hufflepuff.

What I really meant with my post is that the Hufflepuffs keep having
irritating flaws revealed about them and that the reader always needs
to look deeper to find the truth about them.

I never meant that I believe that the Hufflepuffs are a load of
duffers, nor that JKR thinks they are.

But she sure has a strange way of dealing with the different Houses.
The Hufflepuffs too often look like twits. The Slytherins are all
evil. The Ravenclaws are almost invisible, and when they are not it's
not good news for them (Cho, Marrietta). And the Gryffindors are the
saviours of the world and the kings of the school.

Talk about equal treatment and uniting of the Houses.

Del, who knows that the books are told from Harry's point of view, no
need to remind her of that :-)
