zgirnius:
I thought it was the other way around. Slytherin was on the side of 
Umbridge and the Ministry against Dumbledore and Harry, denying the 
return of Voldemort. (In the case of the Slytherins that furthered 
this policy, they knew darned well he was back, but saw the advantage 
of keeping this a secret - e. g. Lucius Malfoy and Draco.) So 
naturally she wound up favoring them - they were the ones helping 
her. 

I tend to guess Dolly Dearest is a Hufflepuff, showing the dark side 
of those traits, hard-working and loyal to the Ministry.

take advantage of their heroics. And he does seem to have a bit of a 
prejudice in favor of Gryffindor, and an obsession with being thought 
the hero. If I had to guess with the Turban, I'd put him as a 
Ravenclaw, in his quest for knowledge and his giving in to Morty's 
cold logic. 

zgirnius:
Yes, those would be my guesses too. And I agree Gildylocks did wipe 
the memories of others - I was just focusing on his transgressions 
within the story, as opposed to in his past.
