Sorting Hat for a Day

The chapter discussion on "The Sorting Hat" has generated a long thread about house traits and values. So, I was thinking it might be fun to see how each of us would do if we were able to be the Sorting Hat for a day. Here are some questions, just for fun. Please provide canon support for your answers and feel free to add other questions.

Which characters do you think exemplify the attributes of their houses? There can be multiple if you think there are several, but choose one main representative from each house.

Are there any characters who don't live up to their house standards?

Dumbledore thinks they sort too soon. Are there any characters you would sort differently than the Sorting Hat did?

Are there any characters who are sorted appropriately, but you think would have fit in another house just as well?

Do you think being in a different house would have made a difference in a character's life?
