4 houses/elements - Alchemy used to defeat LV

As I have mentioned, I am studying the lecture notes from Carl 
Jung's lecture on Alchemy. I am learning a lot and thought that I 
would post my finding here as I go along. That way those who want to 
know can learn along with me. I am half way through the first of 2 
volumes. (Elves, don't worry I am also relating everything to the HP 
series.)

These ideas are added to the ideas in a previous post of the 
importance of the 4 houses which JKR says represent the 4 elements, 
and the idea that the houses united will aid in the defeat of LV. 

The very oldest versions of Alchemy text have 8 divisions instead of 
4 for the elements. The is a Ying/Yang idea of the unity of the 
opposites, a male and a female principle.  I am wondering if this 
might lead us to a male and female (not shipping) from each house. 
This idea would give us 8 students or student/adult combinations 
that will aid in the downfall of LV.

If this idea were true (and I am only toying with it here, no true 
theory yet.) We have to look at who would be the male principle and 
the female principle from each house.

In HBP in the scene where Ginny is fighting a DE, the narrator 
referred to Ginny's hair being like flames of fire.  I don't think 
that is accidental.  Ginny and Harry are the male/female principle 
for the element of fire.

Luna would be the female principle for air.  Who will be the male?

And who will be the male and female principle for Hufflepuff?

Will it be Narcissa and Snape for Slytherin?  Or if they all have to 
be students will it be Draco and ???

There is also a very interesting Alchemy text that I will post about 
tomorrow that makes me think that, at least to JKR, a Phoenix may be 
involved in the final transformation.
