Hi all,
I was just hoping to get a little feedback on this particular musing 
of mine.
In the Fountain of Magical Brethren there are distinctly four types, 
(or races whatever you may call them).
The 'Human' Wizard and Witch, the 'Goblin', the 'Elf' and 
the 'Centaur'.

I realised at some point while musing another thread that the Four 
Magical Brethren have something in common with Hogwarts: 
Namely "Four Magical Brethren"

I will, tentatively, put to you all that this is not merely 
coincedence. (tenatively because I dont have a lot of time for an 
enourmous essay in support of it and the list can be a bit 
unforgiving if one doesn't.)

I have a sketchy draft of a theory that might help a bit so here it 
is:

The Wizard/Witch Human: Salazar Slytherin ; definately Human, with 
an indisputable record for 100% Wizard superiority but not 
necessarily Human!Wizard superiority.

The Goblin: Helga Hufflepuff ; the name is very Goblinish, and 
goblins are one of the two hardest working of the Brethren.

The Centaur: Rowena Ravenclaw ; again 'Rowena' is an elegant name 
reminiscent of names of the centaurs we have met in the books, and 
the "*Purest* Intelligence" and "wisdom" ramblings are a dead 
giveaway, I am willing to bet she's Centaur regardless.

The Elf: Godric Gryffindor; Godric is reminiscent, to me anyway, of 
Tolkien Elf names.

If any are out of their order I would be inclined to pick Godric and 
Helga, because the attributes of hardworking and loyal are fitting 
of elves in so many ways and our Godric clue is a sword which could 
indicate Goblin.

Ok, so whatever you will with that, dear list.

Best to All
Valky
