This awesome poll is the idea of Vicky Granger. thumbup.gif


.........................


There are several more or less minor characters of which we don't know what house they were in at Hogwarts. Some of them were discussed in Canon Conundrums on PotterCast, but what do you think ? And more importantly, why ? What qualities does each character possess that make you think he/she was sorted in this way ? hogwarts.gif

Tell us your opinions about the probable Houses of the characters given and also the reason why you think they would have gone to that particular House. smile.gif

I think Madam Pomfrey was in Hufflepuff because she is very kind and works to help others

Contrary to the poll results, I believe that Lockhart was a Slytherin. He manipulated others to get on top. He had ambition beyond most and was willing to go to extremes to get on top.
Rita Skeeter is also i definite Slytherin in my mind for many of the same reasons. She was shrewd and sneaky to get her story.
I also peg Fudge as a Slytherin. He was tricky for me, but
I decided that anyone willing to deny Voldemort's existence to maintain favor with the wizarding world had to be a Slytherin.

I think Grubbly-Plank was in Ravenclaw 'cause she is quite stern, but she never seems like a 'baddie', so obviously she wouldn't be in Slytherin and Ravenclaw seems the sternest out of the other to houses. Maybe? I dunno?

I think there's plenty of doubt about Moody's House but my main question is...How is Mundungus Fletcher loyal? He's the most consistently disloyal of all the Order members! When is loyalty displayed? Was it when he abandoned his duty to help Mrs. Figg watch Harry so he could go engage in illegal dealings? Was it when he stole from headquarters? Was it when he abandoned the others in the Battle over Little Whinging? I'm a bit at a loss to think of even a single time he displayed more than token loyalty.




I'm gonna piggyback on this. How is Mundungus loyal? He's not, he'll run to save his own neck and leave you out to dry. I think he was a Slytherin 100%. He's vile, self centered, and out for number one. If that's not a Slytherin I don't know what is. The twins may have found him funny but I'm with Molly Weasley on this. The rest... Moody: Gryffindor
Aberforth: Gryffindor
Kingsley: Gryffindor
Fudge: Slytherin
Umbridge: Slytherin
Lockhart: Slytherin
Quirrel: Ravenclaw
Ollivander: Ravenclaw
Pomfrey: Hufflepuff
Grubbly-Plank: Hufflepuff
Skeeter: Slytherin
Trelawney: Ravenclaw

I think that is unfair. Mundungus is loyal. but only up to a point. We are told he is loyal to Dumbledore and he doesn't have to be a member of the Order of the Phoenix which is dangerous. He panics and apparates away when faced with Voldemort firing curses at him, but he would almost certainly been killed if he hadn't. That makes him rather cowardly, but he was rather loyal to be in the situation in the first place.

Mundungus was loyal to Dumbledore because Dumbledore had got him out of some trouble. He wasn't loyal to the cause and I believe he stuck around in case he needed Dumbledore's help. Until Dumbledore died and then he thought he could use the Order as cover. And with all of his illegal activities I'm sure this crossed his mind. None of the others apparated away when Voldy showed up. Moody died, George was injured and Hagrid nearly fell to his death. Dung was out for number one. Look at when he left Harry alone in Little Whinging and Figgy had to take over because he went to pick up stolen mercahndise?!

I also got the feeling that Mundungus was pretty scared of Moody, hence his presence in the seven Potters bit. He seems to only respond to the immediate danger and look for a way out when it turns up, rather than plan anything. He and Slughorn seem to do opposites in terms of deciding whether or not they're really loyal to the cause post-Dumbledore's death. I think they're comparable, so both Slytherin.

I take umbrage (hee!) at all the calls to put Dolores into Slytherin.

She epitomizes, to me, the very worst aspects of loyalty. Namely, blind obedience, putting the goal of a group or its leader over any other consideration, an overwillingness to quash any perceived rebellion. But the loyalty is only skin-deep. She's loyal to the post, to the title, not the person who occupies the office. Blech! And passive aggressive about it all to boot.

Plus, she's hard-working. You gotta give her that.

Mundungus seems to me a very tricky one to categorise- he's shown to be a coward who runs away at the first opportunity, so not Gryffindor, although he was in the order...He doesn't seem to be particularly clever, ruling out ravenclaw... I also find it hard to believe a proud and ambitious Slytherin would be content being a "sneak-thief". That leaves Hufflepuff, so assuming it's a house for misfits, I would put him there...

come to think of it, not sure if it's been mentioned here, but why/how exactly did Mundungus get involved with the Order..?

Quirrel - Hufflepuff. He seemed like kind of an ordinary guy who was decieved by Voldemort.
Lockhart - Slytherin. He used deception to achieve fame, and he was very ambitious.
Moody - has to be Gryffindor.
Kingsley - Gryffindor
Aberforth - Gryffindor. He's not the intellectual type, so Ravenclaw is out. He says Albus was a natural at "secrets and lies", indicating that Aberforth is not, so I wouldn't put him in Slytherin. I guess Hufflepuff is a possibility, but I've always seen him as a Gryffindor.
Trelawney - Hufflepuff. It is, after all, the house for misfits, and she worked hard to prove that she was a seer. Even though she was lying about being a seer (for the most part, anyway), I can't see her as a Slytherin. She doesn't have the cold calousness.
Madam Pomfrey - Hufflepuff. She seemed like the sort of person who's always worried about other people's welfare.
Grubbly-Plank - Hufflepuff. She seems very down-to-earth and practical.
Umbrige - Slytherin. Deceitful, cruel, two-faced.
Fudge - Slytherin. He's far too ambitious for his own good and cares way too much about how everyone sees him.
Ollivander - Ravenclaw. He's very intelligent, and he really understands wandlore.
Mundungus - Slytherin. According to Phineas Nigellus, slytherins would always choose to save their own skin. The battle over Little Whiting proves it.
Rita Skeeter - Slytherin. She twists everything you say. Anything for a good story.

Of course, these aren't necessarily right. No one can know for sure. Not all Gryffindors are heroes (Wormtail), not all Slytherins are cowards (Regulus Black), not all Hufflepuffs are likable (Zacharias Smith), and not all Ravenclaws are studious (Luna). Likewise, not all brave people are Gryffindors (Dumbledore's Army), not all intelligent people are Ravenclaws (Hermione), not all kind, awkward people are Hufflepuffs (Neville), and not all two-faced sneaks are Slytherins (Marietta Edgecomb and Wormtail).
