> 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.

Gryffindor: Harry Potter
Hufflepuff: Cedric Diggory
Ravenclaw: Professor Flitwick
Slytherin: Severus Snape (close 2nd Regulus Black)

Zacharias Smith--rushing out with the first years showed a distinct lack of loyalty.

I would have sorted Pettigrew into Durmstrang.

I've answered this in a different post.

I think it would--in some cases it would be less signficant than others. But I think Snape could have done well in both Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff and might have turned out nicer. He wouldn't have been as encouraged in the Dark Arts, I think.
