Here is long-ish essay about Snape and Dumbledore and whether they truly belong to the houses they were Sorted into. It's DH-based, and full of spoilers. Tell me what you think!
I would make a post, but I'm not a member of this wonderful place (at least not yet).
What do you guys think about the portrayal of Slytherins in Deathly Hallows (how ALL of them left, for example), or are there any essays on it (I've seen them/it mentioned in some, so far)? I'm kind of confused as JK had said earlier that not all Death Eater'skids/young would-be DEs are from Slytherin. Isn't it kind of heavy to exclude one wWHOLE house from the Battle of Hogwarts (and from the hiding room that had 3 banners), especially after the Snape-thing.
"We sort too soon." - does that mean that a true Slytherin can't be brave, and that a true Gryff can't be a coward/betrayer (Pettigrew); would the Sorting Hat sort them differently now? And if not, what IS the point in houses, since EVERYONE seems to share some traits, anyway, and the house really proves nothing? Thenagain, if yes, what would be the point of sorting something that life and circumstances would change?

I just set membership back to moderated, so if you try to join, we'll let you in and you can formulate your thoughts and post an essay if you want to.
That said, I think sorting is pointless and they should do it randomly. personality just isn't developed that far with 11.
