Triin,
who always feels sorry for Hufflepuffs and craves for a Big Day For
Hufflepuff to occur in Book 7, in which the Hufflepuffs save the world...

Kellie now:
Actually, I have wondered if Hufflepuff will play a more active roll in book seven and here is why.

While I was researching online, trying to discover the reason for Hufflepuff's animal, a badger. I learned some interesting things about this creature. 

First, Because of their fidelity and gentle nature,
badgers are seen by some as a symbol of love and
loyalty.  I had never known that, so now I know why it is the symbol for the Hufflepuff house.  In folklore, they are considered to have great courage and to possess quick thinking. On another site, I read that badgers are typical gentle creatures but when cornered, they are ferocious fighters.  That is why I wonder if we will see more from Hufflepuff in the final book.  

I imagine that things are going to be quite dark, and that everyone may get involved. Perhaps it is here that the Hufflepuffs take a more direct stand. 

Kellie who doesn't know but is eager to see what the seventh book has in store for us.
