Rashi says:
Anyway, what I find odd is..its not written which type of witch she is 
(unless I'm otherwise mistaken). I think that everyone assumes that 
she is indeed Slytherin, but, is she? 

Nicole thinks:
Rashi, great topic, haven't seen it yet. 
I think its easy to quickly go to Slytherin because she seems so evil. But until the "Inquisitor Squad" came about, she never really favored towards anyone. I would aim towards Ravenclaw. She is quick, but not brave, or wanting power, or loyal. So I lean away from the other houses. 
There are a lot of Ministry people I wonder about. Fudge, Crouch Jr & Sr, Shacklebolt (love him, voting for him to be new DADA teacher), and of course Moody & Tonks. 
Any thoughts?


Marion :
I'd say she's Hufflepuff. She's extremely loyal towards Fudge. 
It would be extremely foolish to underestimate Hufflepuffs. I don't know why everybody thinks they are harmless duffers. They are not. They do seem to think that the group is more important than the individual, "no man left behind" and all that. This can be quite good ("we might not come first but we *all* finished") but it also might take on more sinister undertones when one individual dares to say aloud what the group does not want to hear.
