You know, JKR shows families with certain traits, but each member is 
still an individual so that even the common traits are demonstrated 
in different ways.  The same is true of the Houses. 

Look at all the different ways bravery is manifested.  If you were a 
Hufflepuff who didn't know Neville as well as the readers do, you 
might wonder how he was sorted into Gryffindor.
