Potioncat:
The more I think of it, just what would be a typical family? And 
then, what would be a typical House-based family? What traits might a 
Gryffindor family have that a Hufflepuff family might not?

How does the Weasley family compare to the Dumbledore family?

How do the Snape, various Black, Gaunt and Malfoy families compare?

What House would we think the Crouch family fit into?

The one big difference I can see between the Malfoys and the Blacks, 
(at least some of the Blacks) is that family members were more 
important than the Cause. Of course, no one in the Malfoy family had 
actually rebelled against the Cause.
