Sherrie:

"Slytherin is Water, the element most associated with emotion.  Anyone  think 
of an unemotional Slytherin offhand?  Not me."


Bruce:
Slughorn doesn't seem very emotional.  Blaize didn't seem too emotional.  Crabbe
& Goyle don't seem emotional.  

On the other hand, Pansy, Draco, and Snape are all very emotional.

Ravenclaw's symbol is an Eagle, and the name suggests another bird; they are
obviously Air.  With Hufflepuff as Earth and Slytherin Water, that would leave
Fire for Griffindor.

The relics don't add up, though.  The Cup should go with Slytherin, not
Hufflepuff; similarly, Slytherin shouldn't have a Ring (a gem), but a Cup.  And
a Sword is for Air, which would give a sword to Ravenclaw, not Griffindor.  Now,
if the Cup had belonged to Helga Hufflepuff but had been given to her by Salazar
Slytherin, and the Sword had belonged to Godric Griffindor but had been given to
him by Rowena Ravenclaw--this is something that has come to me as I type
this--it would imply something about the relationships among the Founders.
