1. Gryffindor. It values all the things I value, and I feel I'd get along with a lot of the Gryff characters. From the P.O.V. of the books I guess it's pretty biased, but I feel like I'd be very comfortable there.
2. Wow, no. Unless it's something minor like I thought something was orange but it's really yellow. Actually scratch that because thinking back I just recently got into a (non-serious) argument about whether my friend's mardi gras beads were pink or light purple. Btw they were PINK. But anyway I have a very hard time backing down and admitting when I'm wrong. If I've hurt someone I am quick as hell to feel guilty. If they're pissed I'm fine with it but sad? I just can't stand to see someone sad. It's a big weak spot of mine. If I am totally sure I did nothing wrong I will fight fight fight it til the cows come home, and even after they've gotten settled for the night. And for a bit more after that. I hate knowing I'm in the right and someone doesn't believe me.
3. Actions, I'd say. Words are important too, but words can be empty. I'd rather have a silent friend who showed me everyday how much they cared than a friend who always told me but never backed it up. Intentions are more important than outcomes. You might have the worst intentions ever and have a favorable outcome (and that has happened to me and it's awesome, but it prob. never should lol), but it's much more admirable to have the absolute best intentions with disastrous results. You can get out of trouble a little bit easier that way, too. Because if I had a nickel for every time that's happened to me... well, yeah. Donald Trump bitches.
4. Everyone explodes. Lol actually I'd spare Fred and Colin Creevey (was so random) but that's about it. And rewrite the epilogue. And get rid of the part when Ron and Hermione go into the Chamber of Secrets by making mouth-sounds. Then Albus Severus would take over the world and absorb the entire universe into his saggy left-
1a. I value courage, and not backing down from a challenge or your own convictions. I value being bold even in the face of insurmountable odds, even if the bold behavior is considered stupid by others. Honor in an abstract way is very admirable, like... not in the traditional sense, but your own personal definition of honor. It's different for everyone. For me it is standing by your convictions and fighting for them, and never apologizing for it.
1b. A Hufflepuff is mild-mannered. A Hufflepuff will try to look at two sides of an argument and attempt to understand where the other person's coming from. A Hufflepuff is more reasonable and down-to-earth. A Hufflepuff is polite and friendly even towards people he/she doesn't like. A Hufflepuff frowns upon laziness and procrastination, or glory and success found by ways other than hard work. A Hufflepuff puts fair play above passion, and doesn't question the world very much. A Hufflepuff goes along with the way things are and tries not to ruffle any feathers.
A Gryffindor is hot-headed, defensive, and speaks his/her mind. A Gryffindor may look at both sides of the argument after having time to cool off, but is unable to do this in the heat of the moment. A Gryffindor is idealistic and stubborn. A Gryffindor doesn't mind stumbling upon sucess as long as no one was stepped on on the way there; they simply accept it as good luck. A Gryffindor is often a victim of passion. A Gryffindor is investigative because they want to be sure that what they are doing or believe in is right, at least by their personal standards. A Gryffindor will make a scene if they believe that something doesn't seem right with the world.
2a. I don't think Hufflepuffs are very stubborn (at least by the canon definition). Puffs are more open to sit down with whomever they disagree and try to work things out. Gryffs are more prone to cease speaking to someone altogether over disagreements, and even if they decide they're being idiots and make up, they might not ever admit that one or the other was in the wrong. Puffs are only stubborn in that they insist on fairness or push loyalty and hard work to extremes, but they are still much more prone to being pushovers, if you will. They are concerned with keeping things friendly and peaceful and don't want tension, and will avoid a confrontation if at all possible. Gryffindors find it hard to hold back if they hear or see something they don't think is right. Gryffindors are much more stubborn and set in their opinions.

1b. Could you explain what you think the main differences are, in values or personality traits, between Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs?
2a. Do you think this sort of stubbornness is a house trait? What do you think is the difference between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff stubbornness?
