Kemper taking the side note and the side road with Carol:
I agree. Without a doubt, Figgy would have been a Gryffindor if she
were any good with a wand.

But I disagree with Umbridge in Slytherin.  Umbridge is fiercely loyal
to Fudge and his administration.  She works diligently at sabotaging
Hogwarts system.  She considers using the Crutiatus not because of a
desire to harm but to gain the truth from Harry.  A truth that she
expects Fudge would want to know about.  (I see the Bella as one to
use the curse even after she receives what she believes to be the
truth)  This isn't to say that Umbridge isn't an evil, vile woman,
obviously.  It's to say that evil can be seen with the traits of the
other houses. (I still haven't worked out Wormtail's Gryffindor traits
with his treachery... if it's even there)

Gryffindor: too many to list v Wormtail
Ravenclaw: Luna v Mwhatshernamea
Hufflepuff: Cedric v Umbridge(?)
Slytherin: Snape(?) v too many to list

Only ramblings of a man who needs to get paperwork done...
