HAPPY BIRTHDAY CATHEYXS!!!!!!!! (for whom I have a teeny pressie but it's not finished yet.)
Have been intrigued by the "what HP character am I like meme," but I have a sneaky feeling we are most of us either Remus or Hermione here in this LJ-world, with perhaps the occasional Luna or Tonks. In lieu of that, here's another silly and highly

I'm a Slytherin. I do plot and stuff but it doesn't quite work out (Draco), I hold grudges, I am very ambitious, sometimes calculating definitely not brave and not too loyal. I mean, I believe loyalty is important but not the most important thing for me. And I'm a bit of loner, that Hufflepuff team spirit is definitely not there. I think I would also make a good Ravenclaw but I only enjoy studying what interests me and I may find useful. And I'm a bit lazy. Ok, make that very lazy.

I like that explanation. Yeah, team spirit does seem to define Hufflepuff in a way (not that they're all that well defined). JKR's Slytherins actually seem incredibly loyal, it's who they're loyal *to* that seems to define the house.

I don't know... Slytherin loyalty strikes me more like fanon than canon. As far as Slytherin friendships are concerned we really can't tell whether there's any true loyalty or just convenience in them. Draco needs Crabbe and Goyle as bodyguards. They probably need him for... who knows? Perhaps everything.

Hmm, this may be true. It is really hard to tell with setups like Crabbe and Goyle, though IMO that one really does reek of necessity and little more. Someone primarily focused on personal loyalty might belong in Hufflepuff no matter how Dark the object of that loyalty. Which could mean Hufflepuff might produce a fair number of Dark wizards.

Trying to imagine a Hufflepuff Bellatrix Black here and failing, lol. But Barty Crouch may have been a Hufflepuff.
