Dung & Houynhnm,

I just had to respond to some of these comments about my house.  We
are told that Gryffindors are courageous.  We are also told that
they are noble and chivalrous.  This does suggest they have strong
values and morals, a sence of right and wrong.  Obviously, it goes
wrong sometimes, i.e. Peter Pettigrew.  Also, everyone in the House
does not necessarily have the same talent level.  There are
different degrees.  Not every Gryffindor is another DD, but I do
think in general they try - try to do the right thing.

I also do not understand the bias against the twins.  Pranksters?
Yes, absolutely but Slytherins no.  Remember the Marauders were
pranksters, too but James, Sirius, and Remus are not evil.  They are
heroes.  The twins have helped and supported Harry remember.  I am
not questioning what side they are on.  Thanks.
