Joey:

Though I always thought Harry would have been quite fine at Hufflepuff, I think I sort of understand what you mean. :-) 


>Potioncat:
>I hadn't thought of those. Why did you pick these houses for these characters? 


Joey:


1) Lily: I think she was focused on being just when she defended Snape from James and also, vice versa; quite loyal to all her loved ones; patient with Petunia's jealousy and also, Snape's interest in Dark Arts; true to herself and others. I think she must have been serious about her studies if she were made the Head Girl (though I know Slughorn says she was a "natural" at Potions). :-) I guess more or less this is why I feel Harry would do well at Hufflepuff too and I find him *quite* modest. :-)


2) Charlie: I think he handled it quite patiently when Ron wrote to him about Hagrid's pet dragon and when his mom cut his hair (I think a typical Gryffindor would rather resist a forced haircut :-)) and I think working with dragons and other magical creatures demands lot of patience and hard work apart from bravery. :-)


3) Arthur: His interest to learn about concepts / things that are new to him; even in the WW, I think creating a flying car like *that* requires wit and creativity. :-)


4) Bill: I find him emotionally intelligent - the way he has understood goblins' POV and the way he has managed to make friends with some of them; the way he handled Ron when Ron walked out of Harry & Hermione; the way he handled the Trio at Shell Cottage and the advice he gave Harry; his career choice also sounds quite Ravenclaw-ish to me :-)
 

Cheers,
~Joey, who thanks Potioncat for the lovely game she started and who is now all set to read Potioncat's response to the game :-)
