Valky:
WEll yes I agree with there being something wrong in this too. The
founders and their objects don't realy seem to follow consistently any
elemental pattern that I can think of. There is a pattern, which can
only prove a take it or leave it thing really, but I'll explain it
anyway. 

The male founder's (Gryffindor and Slytherin) Objects are related to
their houses in forward rotation of the elements. Forward rotation is
cyclicly productive arrangement of the elements. In a circle the
elements go from air --> Fire --> Earth --> Water --> back to air in a
productive cycle that anyone here knowledgable in popular feng shui
would recognise as similar to that theory. Air (oxygen) feeds fire,
Fire (creates ash) which feeds earth, Earth (is the cradle of life =
respiration) feeds water, water (is unstable and made up of air
elements which break down to air) feeds air.

Gryffindors object is and air symbol and Slytherin's is an earth
object so the relationship is the object is productive toward the house. 

With Hufflepuff, however, the pattern reverses, and her object relates
to her house (elementally) in the reductive direction, which is simply
the same circle in reverse direction. 

In the elemental sense that makes Mme Hufflepuff's house in polar
opposition to the men's houses. While their objects elementally
'further their house' Hufflepuff's house in contrast furthers her object.

As I said, it's one of those things wjhere you say you can take it or
leave it, but I should mention that a Wand, a Sceptre or even a
Beaters Bat for the Ravenclaw object would follow the formation
outlined here perfectly.
