- So, what do you think? Has the Sorting Hat ever been wrong? Or do you think that it has made some mistakes in its time? Are there any specific characters that you think are definitely in the wrong house?

I think that the personality qualities someone has as an eleven-year-old, probably change a lot as they grow......
@Teddy Laté cough cough not really cough

Cough Cough Why is everyone saying cough cough cough cough
Rikumichi We watched a three year old video on the exact same day and replied on the exact same coment
Let's have a long conversation
For Neville, I do feel like Neville was actually the most Gryffindor-ish character in his year. I feel this because despite the fact that he was a loyal and hard-working student, he not only had two Gryffindor parents, he has two parents who were tortured to insanity while defying Voldemort but he had the bravery to see his parents in their insane state despite knowing it would make him sad and would tether him to a reality in which he can't escape with the fact that he has two parents that are alive but will never be able to recognize him or be there at the milestones of his life such as his wedding or even his prideful Gryffindor moment of killing Nagini. My second reason is that to not only face your biggest fear everyday of your life, but have them picking on you for no reason at all (P.S I love Snape) is the most courageous thing I can imagine, Ron doesn't have to face spiders everyday of his life, Harry doesn't have to face Dementors everyday of his life either. My next reason is that Neville not only went back to hogwarts for seventh year. He continued an underground rebellion against Voldemort in a school run by Voldemort's followers. He also back talked with his "Professors" who definitely had the green light to Crucio defiant students. Which brings me to my next and last point. Neville was not only tortured by a psychopathic killer (Bellatrix Lestrange) he was tortured by the same killer that put his parents into their unhealthy mental state of not even recognizing Neville, their own son. That concludes my reasons for Neville being 100% Gryffindor (minus a few other personal theories.)
Heaven Hillman * violently claps *
Wow That Is One Long And Good Theroy , If You Made A Video About That I WOULD subscribe.
This is amazing!!! Have you made a vid on this? I would def watch it!
Yes. It took him time to overcome his fears, but because he valued those characteristics in his parents, he kept trying & doing the right thing, despite his fears & possible hurt or death, which is the definition of bravery.
Neville wanted to be placed into Hufflepuff, but not because he desires their traits over those of Gryffindor, he just felt that Gryffindor was too intimidating for him. He would love to be brave like a Gryffindor, and he eventually was, and the Sorting Hat saw this in him. He stood up to his friends in his first year, went with Harry to fight Death Eaters in his fifth year, and destroyed the last Horcrux, as well as achieving the highest kill count in the whole series in his seventh year. Not to mention that, despite his low self-esteem and lack of self confidence, he was the first to go looking for a partner to the Yule Ball, he had become the man that he would be once intimidated by
Regulus was right to be sorted into Slytherin. A characteristic people tend to forget about Slytherins is "fraternity" or brotherhood. Slytherins are actually very loyal but, unlike Hufflepuffs, they're selectively loyal. They have a small group they care about, and are willing to go to great lengths for those they call their "own." That's why all Slytherins who are shown to act, have only done so in defense of someone close to them. Regulus - Kreacher, Snape - Lily, Narcissa - Draco, even Bellatrix was shown to side with her sister when it mattered.
When Dumbledore said they sorted too early, I felt that he just showcased how poorly he understood Slytherin House. After all, when Snape gives his motivations ('Always') Dumbledore is shocked, because that's not a Gryffindor's motive. That's not something he relates to.
(Side Note, but "brotherhood" is also why the Death Eaters worked so well amongst Slytherins. And why Slughorn created such a thing as the Slug Club and it flourished. Give a Slytherin a family and you'll have the loyalty of someone who will break any rules to protect you.)
Exactly.
It’s true, as a Slytherin, I am always with my friends. Not to mention my group works really well together
Ok NOW I see why I'm in Slytherin. (I also sorted in Hufflepuff, though)
Tbh, I am extremely loyal toward my friends and am considered a great friend.
Yuuki no Yuki okay this is literally me plus I’m super ambitious so yeah
You must of spent an hour just writing that
I always thought everyone knew why hermione wasn’t in ravenclaw.
ravenclaw value creativity, wisdom and originality. yes, hermione was probably the smartest witch in the whole series but she values learning for a different reason. ravenclaws value learning because it’s their passion, but hermione values it because she likes being in the top. (I could expand on this if you guys don’t understand this part, it’s not meant to sound rude lol) luna lovegood was a true ravenclaw and hermione never understood her. this is because she doesn’t value creativity and originality, like a true ravenclaw would. hermione also was never good at divination because she couldn’t understand there was more to something than just pure facts, thus not making her a ravenclaw.
@@satoreus She would actually make a good slytherin now that I think about it
Babylon Is falling the dramione shippers are very happy with this statement
@@everythingwillbe6904 You can also see her want to aid the house elves as Hufflepuffery. Pretty much any complex character is going to have aspects of multiple houses. Luna Lovegood has the empathy of a Hufflepuff and the courage of a Gryffindor. Cedric was certainly brave and also seemed ambitious. Heck, if they'd have written seven books about Crabbe and Goyle, we might even see another side of them.
Hermione actually did several Slytherin things like stealing polyjuice ingredients, and she is very goal oriented when it comes to her academics.
True! She's closed minded and isn't that creative when you really think about it. She only knows the facts
One thing I will always go to when it comes to why Hermione couldn't be a Ravenclaw is due to the fact that she's not very accepting of different/eccentric people(for example Luna and Trelawney), she is also all about booksmarts while Ravenclaws are known for more outside the box thinking.
I actually think Hermione could have fit pretty well into Slytherin.
She would have never been a Slytherin, as Salazar Slytherin would only let purebloods and some very prejudiced half-bloods into Slytherin house.
Xx_Gacha GirlN08_xX
Wasn’t Pansy bullying Hermione at one point?
Hermione almost got into Ravenclaw but she asked for Gryffindor (choices matter) In my opinion, she does have out of the box thinking or at least logic, since she can solve the potions riddle in Philosophers stone
@@armstrongtixid6873 said who? Did JK ever mentioned muggleborns or half bloods in slytherin at least after the books? There's no way that for years there were only purebloods. But also who said that Salazar was anti muggleborn? Legend about the chamber is just that legend. He could've just left the bazilisk as protection. Idk that's some interesting trivia that would make excellent stories but JK is big on checking for historical accuracy and that would be too big of a project to make time acturate book
@Xx_Gacha GirlN08_xX
nonono pansy sucked
but snape was redeemed, regulus black was a hero, and narcissa malfoy saved harry
Hufflepuff scarf deserves a like

And you are...?? xD
Congratulations on being sorted into... THERE IS NO NETWORK CONNECTION!

lol! :)
Percy Weasley was a complete git before the battle of Hogwarts. But don't forget that after he came back to fight, watched his brother die and sought out the death-eater that killed Fred. Overall the Gryffindor aspects of him came back when it was most important.
r_and_om_me yes
Cedic Diggory i thought Cedric Diggory is dead?!😂😂😂
r_and_om_me Well said well said
Just think about how much courage it would have taken to turn his back against the Ministry - his only hope of making a living - and fighting with his family in an all out war. He came back knowing that if they lost that he could never hope of regaining a normal life, he would be forever shamed by old co-workers and people he thought was his friends.
Fred's death was so sad Quote: His last laugh wa straced upon his face.
To quote Slughorn: “We Slytherins are brave, yes, but not stupid.” Explain Regulus And Snape?
?
Yessss
How are they stupid
They were the smartest in the bunch and sacrificed everything for there loved ones even there ambition so go ahead and hush up Gryffindor ( and yes i know your a Gryffindor because a Ravenclaw would never be that short sighted and a Hufflepuff would of understood there sacrifice as they also have the loyal trait)
That quote is wrong. Phineas Nigellus said that not Slughorn.
Sorting Hat: I've never been wrong!
Also Sorting Hat: *places Peter Pettigrew in Gryffindor*
Sorting Hat: *makes its own definition of being right and being wrong*
Also Sorting Hat: I've never been wrong!
Luv ur pfp
Didn't he save the trio from Malfoy Manor? (haven't read the seventh book in ages, so I can't remember too well)
@@confusedtea7 That's because he hesitated. Harry reminded him that he saved his life back in the Shack, sth about life debt, Wormtail hesitated to strangle Harry and his silver hand, given by Voldy, took it as a sign of weakness and strangled him instead. So you could say he saved them by dying xD
Well what house did you want him to be placed in then and dont you DARE say slytherin without a good reason
Professor Flitwick was also a hatstall. He and professor Mcgonagall were in the same year. They both struggled in between Ravenclaw and Gryffindor. Flitwick was placed in Ravenclaw, while Mcgonagall was placed in Gryffindor.
# Ravenclaw ftw
Ethan Williamson Flitwick did not have a true hatstall
Mcgonagall is the only known Hatstall
No actually, Wormtail was also a Hatstall.
TriBlaster Dude Yeah, he was one between Gryffindor and Slytherin b4 the former was chosen.
I always interpreted the Sorting Hat as sending you to the House you 'need' to be in rather than just by the character traits you embody. Hermione, for example, is incredibly intelligent much like a Ravenclaw but she most prospers around headstrong, courageous characters. Neville is very shy and submissive, sharing a lot of traits with Hufflepuffs, but as seen by his development by the Deathly Hallows, he needed to grow around people in Gryffindor to overcome his trauma and nervous disposition. Of course a lot of the time certain traits match up with certain Houses, and certain houses accumulate a lot of people with said traits, which is proven by entire family lines being in a certain house like the Weaselys or the Malfoys. But overall I think the idea of it judging you on currently dominant personality traits is a bit nonsensical if it's going by the mental and emotional state of 10 year olds. That's just my explanation tho
Well partly yes. Because what you value emotionally is what you will try to achieve as you finish growing up, so being with others with that trait much of the time will most likely help you develop it. Although in some cases, like Dumbledore, it may be very slow to assert itself. His intellect, ambition & cunning should have put him in Ravenclaw or Slytherin, but he was placed in Gryffindor. He didn't really achieve bravery, turning against his friend Grindlewald when he realized how far he planned to go to achieve their shared goals, until well into adulthood, & even after then mostly fought indirectly through others when he could, (the Phoenix members, Severus, & Harry) & used his intellect & cunning to find info & coordinate the fight from behind the scenes.
What? 😂😂😂😂
Well why would anybody need to be sorted into slytherin? so they can be evil? They should not sort at all
My Name Is Tim not all slytherins turn out evil. Maybe the Sorting hat chose to sort someone in slytherin because they were really ambitious and wanted something (good) really badly
@@itsgiaxo ,
The Ambition was a side effect of the original purpose of House Slytherin. Slytherin only wanted students who were "pure bloods". These people will prioritize pureness of their blood (family marrying other pure bloods) over anything else... they will do anything to protect their family. This is why the pure bloods are dying out. They don't want to be associated with muggle lovers like the Weasly family even if those families are mostly pure. You just don't know which ones have muggle blood in them after centuries of breeding with muggles.
Eventually, they start to see themselves as everyone's betters because of the purity of their blood... so we get the four defining characteristics of House Slytherin:
Pride, Ambition, Arrogance, and Family Loyalty
Which is why nearly every dark wizrd ever born in the UK came from House Slytherin.
An unstated purpose of the Sorting Hat is to sort the children into groups so that the school administration can better control them... just like Home Room programs we have in Middle Schools and High Schools here in North America.
The other unstated purpose of the Sorting Hat is to make sure that those groups of students can, mostly, get along with one another. To the best of my knowledge, no mudblood was ever sent to House Slytherin... their lack of knowledge of the wizarding world is going to open them up to constant hazing by the "pure bloods" in that house, this will result in an internal conflict within that student group. This really destroys the child(ren)'s ability to succeed at the school... which defeats the purpose of the student attending Hogwarts.
Harry Potter was a good mix of Slytherin and Gryffindor: A bit of Family Loyalty, Bravery, Ambition, and the well developed sense of Justice. He had the courage to decide his own house because he felt unnerved by the Pride and Arrogance Malfoy displayed, this resulted in him being placed in the correct house.
You'd kind of have a really 2D personality if you fit into only one Harry Potter house
The skyhigh gamer Imma a huffleclaw XD ( hufflepuff and ravenclaw)
Agreed. Every person has some traits from each house. I feel like you’re sorted more by what you value (which explains why siblings generally are sorted in the same house)
That is true, everyone has different traits, but many have more dominant ones. You aren’t 2D if you are sorted into one house. If all of your traits, however, matches what the house’s requirements are, I would agree with you.
Slythenclaw here
Ravenpuff!!!!
With the Puff scarf you look like an angry Cedric Diggory
just saying
Not a bad thing 😉
I was just thinking that!
Neville is a 100% a gryffindor cuz in the deathly hallows 2 only a true gryffindor could pull out the sword of of the sorting hat sooooooooooooo ya that’s my point
Well it was to survive and anyone would kill to survive
@@coolslytherin3084 but only a true gryffindor could have pulled the sword out of the hat. It doesn't matter what other people would have done and been willing to do in that situation, everyone who wasn't a true gryffindor would not have been able to get the sword.
@@coolslytherin3084 Dumbledore said in the chamber of secrets "Only a Gryffindor could pull that out the hat"
I agree, but he also did possess some Hufflepuff qualities, such as loyalty (in the first movie, he was willing to ‘fight’ in loyalty to his house so they wouldn’t lose more points), friendliness (he was always friends with the golden trio and was never shown to hate anyone or have any enemies specific to him, unlike Harry, with Voldemort and Malfoy), innocence (do I even need to explain?) and being good at Herbology (not a trait, per say, but it says on the Wizarding World website that Hufflepuffs are generally good at or enjoy Herbology). But he is a Gryffindor at heart I agree, and also, as it says in the video, valued bravery and living up to his parents’ standards, not friendliness or loyalty. He most likely valued this because he envied the brave and hated his lack of chivalry, therefore wanted it the most.
feelinfrappes soooooooooo ruined the awesome comment
Your pride for Hufflepuff is admirable. I enjoy your dedication! You made great points here.
Wotso Videos yeah
His pride for Hufflepuff is so admirable he should have been a Slytherin.......
Wotso Videos #hufflepuffpride
What’s your house, Isaac?
100 points to Hufflepuff.
"He ratted out his friends."
Oml I laughed so hard.😂 Nice, just nice.
I think the sorting hat has been wrong. J.K Rowling is even more stubborn than the sorting hats when it comes to admitting to anything, so anything she says is void. The sorting hat has the ability to see into your mind, and therefore see what you truly value most. How your sorted was presented clearly in the first book, and despite whatever Potter-more says, the Sorting hat was originally going to sort Harry into Slytherin based of his abilities, despite a clear value for bravery over anything else. It was only his insistence to be sorted into Gryffindor that got him into Gryffindor. By that logic Neville should have been sorted into Hufflepuff, purely based on his determination to stop Harry, Ron and Hermione going after the philosophers stone out of loyalty of his house, and as they say at Hogwarts; "your house will become your home, and your housemates like your family". Or at least something like that. I can't really remember it.
But, to be specific, the sorting hat was made to sort students into houses which were representative of the values the founders had. This is why the perpetual cycle of dark wizards Slytherin has hasn't been broken, and why Peter Pettigrew should have been in Slytherin, along with Harry Potter. I don't care what he thinks, he can hang with his friends out of house time. I imagine the events of the Harry Potter series would have turned out much better if Harry Potter had been in Slytherin, because Harry would have spread his morale point of view to his housemates. By chamber of secrets Malfoy could have told Harry about the diary, Harry could have told Ron (or a teacher) about the diary, and the monster would have never been released! Malfoy could have gone to fight the death eaters in the Ministry in the Order of the Phoenix! His dad could have been converted from a dark wizard by Draco's friendship with Harry, and he could have... helped the good guys! I prefer that version of events. Imagine is all the barbed comments Draco threw at Harry was actually just playful banter? Harry wouldn't have fallen out with Ron during the goblet of fire. Okay, butterfly effect, you get it, I think Harry should have been a Slytherin, Ramble over. Goodbye, thanks for reading.
Neville is for sure a gryfindor
I agree with you that it would be a very compelling story and idea, but unfortunately it’s not realistic. As much as I love the story of Harry Potter, JK Rowling isn’t known for her nuances when she’s writing that series. The whole house dynamic between the two houses is very black and white. Gryffindor is good, Slytherin is bad. I say this as a proud Slytherin, but the way that the house is portrayed in the books leaves a lot to be desired. As Hagrid says in the first book, “There‘s not a single witch or wizard who went bad who wasn’t in Slytherin.” It’s a little difficult to change hundreds of years of perceptions just based on one dude, y’know? It takes a group of people to move things along, that’s why it’s called a movement. And movements usually take a long time. Canoe
I don’t know if any of that made sense, lol. But there is my thoughts on the matter. Again, I believe Harry would’ve been great in Slytherin, and the story would’ve been amazing, but that’s not the type of story Harry Potter is unfortunately.
Bobby Singh I thought I heard somewhere that the hat was wrong Seven Times
the sorting hat sorts based on choice, and values, as shown with Peter Pettigrew. harry asked to be in Gryffindor, so did Ron, Hermione didn't i dont think and i don't think Neville did (i haven't read the books in a while) but you get the point, either you choose or you don't, if harry was put in Slytherin, he would have most likely never have met Ron or Hermione, or any of his friends, and the story would have been dramatically different, and, adding to my point, most Slytherins are cunning, resourceful and normally put themselves first instead of others. harry however, puts himself first, is very modest and isn't cunning at all. sorry if this is a little long but i am ranting about such a little thing, please excuse me :)
A lot of people are forgetting that the Hat puts you in a house based off of your values as well. Just dropping this off here...
Snape could literally fit into any house except Hufflepuff, He can be as brave as a Gryffindor, He's ver obviously as smart if not smarter then some Ravenclaws and is a cunning and calculating as a Slytherin.
I have no doubt that if he had not ruined his life with the death eaters he would have had a flourishing career being one of the youngest potion masters.
" ratting out his friends" ha
Lockhart WAS EXTREMELY INTELLIGENT BUT ALSO JUST KINDA LAZY.
wrong, he has no magical talent and is one of the worst characters in Harry Potter
@@tobeyp6413 He does tho
Tobey P when u think about it, it does take some skill to forge multiple books and still not get caught. (Even tho it only took some 12-13 yr olds to find out) . I think he does possess quite a few qualities of a typical ravenclaw. I still think he is super annoying and that he shouldn’t be in ravenclaw
@@Ella-ym2yq Dumbledore knew all along aswell
Ella didn’t he tell them he didn’t write them?
Harry's sorting has always fascinated me, largely because I've been trying to figure out why he was even considered for Slytherin to begin with. I haven't looked deep into the lore on this, but I have a feeling that the Sorting Hat was able to pick up on the soul of Voldemort inside Harry's scar, and that influence made the hat nearly put Harry into a house that he otherwise had no qualities of or valued as a prospective student. I don't know if Voldemort's mark would've been so strong that the hat would genuinely think Harry was a "true" Slytherin under its influence, but that's the only thing that makes sense to me. And that's because Harry doesn't fit the Slytherin mold, as he shies away from the spotlight, doesn't care to have great ambitions, isn't necessarily cunning and certainly has a habit of putting others far before himself a a general character trait. I could only ever see Harry put into Gryffindor or Hufflepuff, actually, for both the qualities he has and what he values as a person.
In many ways, it was being put into Gryffindor that really prepared Harry for his ultimate destiny, and showed him the kind of person he could be when all the chips are down. In that way he earned being a Gryffindor, and became a prime example of what a "perfect" Gryffindor specimen can be: someone who has all the traits needed to be brave, with none of the desire for glory and a selflessness that is truly admirable beyond words. It's that mix of traits that make Harry the leader that was needed to take down Voldemort, someone who understood the risks of facing such dangers and who valued the lives of those who were fighting with him as much as the ultimate mission itself.
Don't forget that after Voldemort's soul was being killed, all the traits that Harry had from Voldemort kinda disappeared. He couldn't talk to snakes anymore...
so... they fit into multiple houses... THE ONLY OPTION IS ONE DIMENSIONAL CHARACTERS
I call Divergents
Alice Dole maybe it's the house that they MOST fit into. The trait that stands out the most.
Catie Ruddell YOU ARE AMAZING FOR THAT REFERENCE 👍
So that's why I got sorted into Gryffindor instead of Ravenclaw. I was shocked before but this theory makes sense why pottermore sorted me into Gryffindor
Well, that's what's interesting: the Pottermore quiz questions seem to largely be hypothetical ones that ask you how you'd respond in a given situation, so the results should skew far more into sorting you based on how you actually act than by how you aspire to be. Granted, there are also some questions that ask you what general things you value, so perhaps the quiz is trying to have a balance of both, sorting you on both who you are and what you want to be.
I totally agree I was expecting slytherin not Hufflepuff but I totally value Hufflepuff traits over slytherin’s
I agree that pretty much everyone could fit into two or more houses. The way I like to put it is to sort people into two houses, a primary and a secondary. For instance, Hermione would be a primary Gryffondor and a secondary Ravenclaw, for obvious reasons. =D
Nah Hermione doesn't fit well in Ravenclaw. I would say her second house could've been Hufflepuff since she values friendship and loyalty.
Hermione would actually fit well in slytherin
Seamus please please I'm begging you do a "what's going on inside they're head" vidoe but with harry potter characters!! Please!!!
PLEASE!!!!!!
Acasha Knowles I agree
Acasha Knowles maybe Star Wars characters too ?
omg yes, that would be amazing if he did do that! please, Seamus!
Acasha Knowles omg plz
Ok you said that snape didn't have the traits of hufflepuff but all the other houses, but he was extremely loyal to dumboedore, hogwarts , lily Potter,protecting Draco (well .... it was an unbreakable vow) , and Lily potters death wishes(protecting Harry ) so he kind of did in fact ( in my opinion) have the loyalty (depending on the situation) of a hufflepuff.
And as a second opinion, I think everyone would have qualities of every house. Like Hufflepuff: being loyal to certain things/people or in certain situations (like snape)
Ravenclaw: wanting to learn everything you can about a certain subject ( like you with the Pixar theory and Harry Potter and etc. )
Gryffindor: you could be brace when facing certain things but not everything (like spiders , scary movies , failing grades) and like Slytherin: when you might be a super sweet person if someone makes u mad u might be devious and plan their death or something
*Seamus if you read this it's not anything against your theories ( which I love it my fav TH-camr) and plz overlook the grammar thx!!*
"u might be devious and plan their death or something"
Is there something you should tell us?
Everyone plans someone's death at some point or another ......... right??
who's death have you planned
Nah Idon't think so. Some people may be loyal to soem people or to, but Hufflepuff are like overall loyal and patient so if you are like loyal to two people than nah!
That's the point an overall loyalty can make u a Hufflepuff or a different overall personality can make you another house but the point is everyone has a trait of each house
were my ravenclaws at 💙

caitybug 3000 I just found out last night! I'm so happy
Right here.
I,M a proud Slytherin
I'm a Ravenclaw because I'm stupid. Wait, that's not how it works...
Maybe the hat put me in Ravenclaw because of the fact that I noticed that I'm stupid, and thus, value intelligence enough to notice my lack of said quality.
Me too
The White Wizard -me too
Me too
@@tcarrotgaming1639 *It is our choices, TCarrot Gaming, that show who we truly are, far more than our abilities.* So if we value the qualities enough it is still possible.
Pottermore said i'm Ravenclaw but if it's what i value i would be Hufflepuff, but if i was in two houses i would probaly be in both :)
I love ravenclaws! Nice to meet you 🤝
I like this guy.
hahaha gae
Cute eh?
GUYS OMG
your house is based off of what traits you VALUE and NEED
not NECESSARILY traits you HAVE.
I know he said this in the vid but yall commenting shit about it
Omg I can't believe it, a person with actual knowledge of the sorting system. Am I in heaven?
Crabbe and Goyle did fail, though! In HBP, Snape mentions that they're having to retake their Defence Against the Dark Arts OWLs
Lilly Moore oh ahahaha I don't remember that sorry fair enough I retract my statement
Oh wow, I can't believe you replied! It's only quickly mentioned in the book-Snape says it while he's arguing with Draco after Slughorn's Christmas party xD Also, this was a great video!
Peter Pettigrew managed to frame Sirius Black for the murder of the Potters, faked his own death for over a decade - all while hiding in the home of Dumbledore's most loyal supporters - escape from capture multiple times, seek out and find the Dark Lord, assist him in the creation of a homunculus, brew the potion to regain Voldemort's body, survive the reformation of the Death Eaters, and then betrayed the Dark Lord in a key moment to save Harry's life. That shows courage, intelligence, subtlety, and loyalty (admittedly, not enough to last, but still about the same amount as Ron Weasley). Everyone gives him crap because his form is that of a rat, but rat zodiac signs are associated with being quick-witted, resourceful, and versatile. Lacking command skills and opportunistic. Perhaps he should have been in Slytherin, but he did have a hidden supply of courage.
He was book smart & had courage to do things sneakily if he was confident it would work. It was just that he couldn't muster up courage to actually risk harm to himself, so he betrayed his friends to save himself rather than protect them, & then felt he had to stay loyal to Voldemort to survive because he was smart enough to see that V would probably win.
Very true point
To be fair, as unsightly a moniker as "rat" is, to be a rat one must posses some level of cunning to trick others into believing you. So you definitely have a point about Pettigrew there.
He framed Sirius of his and 12 muggle deaths, not the Potter's.
Plus he was skilled enough to become an animagus (with a little help from the rest of the marauders sure, but he still managed it)
"Ratting out his friends!" That one was really funny actually XD
I had a Hat Stall.
I was between Ravenclaw and Griffindor, but I chose Ravenclaw.
sagely Demonologist wise decision…can't say it was a very brave one though…
Seamus Gorman
XD
pottermore gets hat stalls? i got sorted into slytherin more than 6 times bc i redo the test.
m13 same
Imagine the sorting hat was like" So you chose Ravenclaw... but everybody likes Gryffindor so choosing Ravenclaw was very brave. GRYFFINDOR!"
Honestly, the sorting into houses shouldnt really be based on personality, it should be based on something else, like a bunch of diverse people balancing each other out
Ayeshkream 101 then there is no point to sorting.
Kenny Siegler not necessarily, because they have to be sorted into these groups, and wile this is the the best idea from a storytelling point of view, it seems like a very logical thing to do if I was in charge of Hogwarts. And instead of if having fairly like minded people living together, you would people with different values and ideas mixing and sharing their thoughts.
So basically the Super Carlin brothers video about the sorting hat not making sense then.
I'm a cunning slytherin! Where all my Slytherin's at?!?!
Alpaca Shenanigans BADGER PRIDE FOR ME!!’
Here
Hisss hiss (I’m here)
Hogwarts. It's the SCHOOL year.
Alpaca Shenanigans I'm too
The sorting hat CAN be wrong
I’m really nice and the “overly nice friend” and I’m kinda smart im a coward tho
The potter more sorting hat put me in slytherin
Not that there’s anything wrong with being a slytherin I’m just not cunning or determinant enough to be a slytherin
I’ve taken the quiz four times and got each hogwarts house once
maybe it's because you VALUE the qualities.
Especially when you retake the pottermore quiz and change.
I changed from Griffindor to slytherin.
HUFFLEPUFF FOR THE WIN!!!!!!!!! I love my house even though people say it's the worst
Ok, let me get this straight. Nobody thinks Hufflepuff is the worst. But some people are very stereotypical, actually *most*
here is how people think of the houses *not me this is other people*
Gryffindor: the amazing, great, and all out the best house
Ravenclaw: ummmmmmm....... they're smart....... I guess.......
Hufflepuff: what a bunch of useless nobody's
Slytherin: Evil, Death Eaters who, by any means cannot be trusted
Emiza Koshy J Yeah, people judge the houses on the main chatacters: Harry, Neville, Draco etc.
Emma_The_Emma I love espeon and am Hufflepuff too. hi!

Cool and very accurate maths
MatPat for the Win!! just found this channal but it looks nice
All of my favorite theorizers in one comment! Dang!
matpat sucks
I personally think that Percy Weasley is more of a Ravenclaw than a Slytherin despite showing ambition and resourcefulness.
1) He stepped on his family to get what he wanted. Slytherins don't do that. The aspects of fraternity & traditionalism (including traditional views on family) are constantly overlooked characteristics of Slytherins. They stay loyal to their families and (carefully chosen) friends. Sure, there are exceptions like Voldemort. But then again Voldemort was a psychopath and could feel remorse. If you are unable to feel remorse like that, it is of little importance what house you're in when you murder your own family. And look at Narcissa Malfoy who, for the slightest chance of being able to get Draco out of the battle alive, lied Voldemort right to the face. She chose her family over the cause/goal of pureblood superiority & wizard domination.
2) Through the series Percy is shown to be a very studious and curious person with a thirst for knowledge and wisdom. That's definitely a very Ravenclaw-ish mindset.
3) Look at the circumstances. I believe Percy to be that quiet middle child who never draws negative attention to him, but in reality they feel very overlooked and underappreciated. But they hide these feelings and negative emotions until one day there is this last straw that is drawn and they explode and - for a lack of knowing better/being overrun by their emotions - they slip into a rebellious phase.
I guess, Percy was jealous and felt constantly overlooked. His older brothers already live on their own and abroad/in different countries than the rest of the family, so whenever they're around its always something special. Fred & George are twins and the biggest pranksters of their generation. So, they're obviously a handful and require lots of attention. Ron became friends with The Boy Who Lived and as a result faces great peril and oftentimes he gets almost killed a the end of the year. So, that's a lot to worry about for parents. And Ginny simply gets attention for being the youngest AND the only girl. So, I can see how Percy might feel overlooked and as a consequence becomes very jealous (even if he doesn't say so).
And then there is the issue of poverty and the way people look down on poor people. And Arthur's choice of a job that isn't paid very well and deals with a somewhat eccentric issue (befitting Arthur's own eccentricity) doesn't exactly help here because eccentricities are usually regarded as weird and are often looked down upon as well. And kids notice that sort of treatment. Especially smart and sensitive kids (which is very much what Percy seems like to me). So, Percy might have noticed how his family and his father in particular are treated and - on top of feeling overlooked by his family - he also feels looked down upon by the Wizarding World. That mixed together might have caused the "the suffering in silence until it's too much" reaction. That was just Percy screaming "Notice me ! I'm important, too ! And if you don't help me turning around our reputation, I'll do it on my own !". You don't have to be a Slytherin to have this type of reaction.
#SlytherinPride
You just made me think about Percy in a way I never did before, and I totally agree with you. Percy definitely could have felt overshadowed by his siblings. Even though I doubt Molly and Arthur would do so intentionally, everyone is flawed and they had so many children to keep track of - and especially since Percy didn't seem to express his feelings much, it's reasonable to think that he slipped through the cracks. Man I love this series. Even the minor characters are well written enough to have in-depth discussions about them.
But he didn't really "step on" his family, he just went after a job with more prestige & pay, for his family as well as himself. He did feel how others viewed his family was bad & so wanted a different kind of job, but still it was a government job like his dad, still doing something to help society in his view. But he let this ambition blind him teporarily, as he didn't believe Voldemort was really back & felt his parents & big brothers were overly worried. This caused a rift with them, but he never hurt them. But when it came to light that V was back, he immediately made up with his family & joined the fight, first from within the government as a spy & then when it fell to V & the Death Eaters, he joined them on the run & literally fighting.
I've taken about 6 quizzes and I mostly got Gryffendor.
I am anything but brave..
Rip
Then you shd point out which character you are in real life
Did you do the Pottermore test or the one with all the Pottermore questions?
I mean, you could value bravery and, you know, Gryffindor has so many other traits or you could be a Hufflepuff and those sorting quizzes hate Hufflepuff (i got Hufflepuff on the official Pottermore quiz but i put together my actual traits and values and figured out i am a Ravenclaw, so what im saying is just to sort yourself, and if you fit in to several houses, pick the one youd most like to be in and ignore those quizzes)
This is very interesting. After giving this some thought, I do think there is something to this, where the Sorting Hat puts students predominantly into houses whose qualities they value as opposed to what capabilities they already have. Which isn't a bad thing, because if you are sorted into a house that matches your personality all that will happen is you'd be placed with more people who are very much like you (which is basically just an echo chamber). But if you are put into a house that possesses qualities that you aspire to have, you'll be put into an environment with people who are different from you, and that will give you the chance to really grow as a person.
Hermione is a great example: she's Ravenclaw all over to a frightening degree, but if she'd have been put there she'd have just been another overachiever in a house known for it. Having someone of her brilliance and academic drive in Gryffindor, a house not known for those qualities, makes her not only stand out but also allows her and those around her to become inspired by each other and their vastly different traits. Harry and Ron were able to stop the many plots against them and others while at Hogwarts often because Hermione was the brains that worked perfectly with their more daring traits. Without Hermione, the basilisk would've never been uncovered and Harry would have never been able to "save the day," but in the same token Hermione's knowledge about time turners would be useless without Harry being willing to risk it all to help her save Buckbeak and Sirius from certain death.
So in a very beautiful way, as flawed as the Sorting Hat's methods appear on the surface, its choices ultimately inspire a lot of personal growth that otherwise would've never occurred in the students. Hermione and Neville grew to be the kinds of brave people they maybe never would've had the chance to be in a different house, and I think Harry being placed into Gryffindor helped to prepare him for his ultimate destiny since it was necessary for him to be selfless and courageous even in the face of certain death to finally defeat Voldemort.
You should do a video to see what house the hat would be in. Maybe?
Anna parkes
How can we make this comment go viral? ( I want it to )
Ravenclaw because it knows....
But it's godric's hat, so it must be gryffindor, eh?
The hat is a gryffindor cause it was made by godric
The hat belonged to Gryffindor (the person) but was given it's abilities and consciousness by the combined magics of all four of the founders, therefore it would be the ULTIMATE hatstall. Possibly even un-sortable.
I understand the Peter Pettigrew thing, but I don't think Peter fit any other house. He wasn't smart, he wasn't loyal, and although he was kind of ambitious, I don't think he's 'cunning'.
i think the Sorting Hat puts people into houses if they value the qualities. That way, they might learn those qualities. In some ways we even see this with Harry. The Sorting Hat thought he was right for Slytherin, but Harry valued the qualities of Gryffindor, so that's where he was sorted.
WHY DOES EVERYONE THINK THAT ALL THERE IS TO RAVENCLAWS ARE JUST 'BEING SMART' THAT'S NOT IT!
Ah, yes! I had been wondering how Peter could have possibly been sorted into Gryffindor, and now it makes so much sense! Great theory, Seamus!
What about Albus Severus Potter? He valued the traits of Gryffindor above all but was sorted into Slytherin!
The poor kid had the names of a famous Gryffindor and a famous Slytherin in his name, so I think the Sorting Hat just got confused and flipped a coin. ;-)
It's better for Albus to be a Slytherin, so that if JK ever writes more books we can see what it looks like to have a truly good person in Slytherin.
Snape wasn't necessarily brave. I don't think he used immense courage going against Voldemort, I think it was his cunning nature that gave him the confidence and skill to hoodwink Voldemort. Same with Regullus
I can't think of anything more brave and daring than pretending to work for a man who killed the only person you ever really loved.
I think Snape undoubtedly had Slytherin's cunning to fool Voldemort, but he also had the loyalty of a Hufflepuff to avenge Lily and a Gryffindor's bravery to perform deeds that would break most wizards. He's easily one of the more nuanced characters in the series, and that's evidenced by how so many of his major qualities are spread out across a variety of different houses.
There was a comment about Slytherins and selective loyalty, it explains regulus and a bit Snape.
I like how you put captions thanks very much
The Sorting Hat sorts based on values, not personality traits. Peter Pettigrew valued the Bravery in his friends even though he was a coward. Snape was always fascinated by the dark arts and valued cunningness even though he was one of the bravest. Hermoine definitely valued bravery over knowledge in that quote "Books! And Cleverness! There are more important things! - Friendship! And Bravery!" Lockhart valued knowledge even though he was a complete dumbass. I think Regulus was a tough example because we really hear about him first from Sirius (who never knew his brother switched sides) and then from kreacher. Wait now you brought up this theory and used these examples but i already typed it up so i'm commenting it anyway
Avi Miller interesting...
Regulus and Sirius weren’t close so we can assume Regulus at that time in his life followed his parents. Considering he went on to be a Death Eater just solidified the idea. Anyways his parents valued Slytherin and Blood purity so it would make since that the small, eleven year old boy would as well. He also probably saw what would happen if he ended up anywhere else as Sirius definitely wasn’t treated well
Question: Who here hates Seamus?
Answer: Nobody, cause he's AWESOME!
AMEN
I'm Luke Skywalker I'm Here To Rescue You well, people who are racist against British people.....
But they dont count as people, so.....
I'm Luke Skywalker I'm Here To Rescue You
Your name has killed me!
Kenziecole _green haha thx 😆 I'm just a rebel with a dream to save the galaxy
I'm Luke Skywalker I'm Here To Rescue You your nan does
I'm intelligent, loyal, hardworking, determined, ambitious, curious and adventurous.
I get a different house every time I take the test.
Also why allow people to choose, that means they will probably crack under peer pressure?
harry picked Gryffindor because both hagrid and ron told him Slytherins were evil, not because he valued Gryffindor values.
Pettigrew was a case of hatstall where the hat deliberated between Slytherin and Gryffindor. Which leads me to think that it decided on Gryffindor for somewhat the same reason Harry didn't go to Slytherin. Pettigrew's mother was a witch but nothing is said about his dad, so I'll assume that he was at least a halfblood (either his father being a muggle or muggleborn, and possibly the same with his mother) and that they weren't in Slytherin. Pettigrew therefore wouldn't have had a very good impression of Slytherin and would, like Harry, tell the hat not to place him there.
Why the hat would later claim to still have made the right decision would be because he could've gone to either house as both would've right for him.
Direct quote from harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Sorting_Hat :
"It seems that the Sorting Hat tends to place students based on qualities they value rather than qualities they personify. This is never more apparent than with Peter Pettigrew, who was Sorted into Gryffindor but ultimately turned out to be quite cowardly, self-serving and corruptible. He was probably placed there because at the time, he admired strong, brave individuals like James Potter and Sirius Black. Though it is possible Pettigrew was placed in Gryffindor because he aspired to these qualities."
Idk why I just defended Pettigrew's Gryffindorhood.. :/ I haven't even read the books or seen the films recently so my memory is a bit weak
Sidenoooote: I should watch more of the vid and not pause to point out one thing too quick *idk*
IS ANYONE ELSE COMPLAINING ABOUT HOW WE WATCHED A F**KING TWENTY MINUTES TO GET TO THE QUITTICH BUT DON'T GET TO SEE A F**KING MINUTE OF IT!! Also does anyone else think it would be funny if Crabbe and Goyle ended up in ravenclaw?!?
Deathsong 2112 lol
All my proud hufflepuffs comment I'm a proud hufflepuff
I don't need to
Proud Huffelpuff also !
I'm not a hufflepuff but I love your profile picture 😂
#puffpride 💛🖤💛🖤
I'm a proud puffhuffle- I mean hufflepuff
I'm glad that your so prideful in being a Hufflepuff! #AWESOME
Fred and George were also very ambitious--they wanted to open a joke shop and that was what they focused their time, money, and passion on.
Harry actually belongs in Slytherin for getting his way Hermione belongs in ravenclaw for smarts and Ron's a Hufflepuff for being loyal to his friends, they were all put in Gryffindor tho because anyone can choose to be brave and they all did we especially get to see this with Harry saying not Slytherin and Hermione being tortured by Beatrix but still not talking and of course Ron coming back to his friends even tho they could hate him.
Lexie Hackbardt Just because they have certain characteristics of other houses doesn't mean they belong there. They were placed in Gryffindor for a reason, their bravery and courage ruled out above their other characteristics.
Lexie Hackbardt The only reason he would have been put in Slytherin was because the sorting hat sensed part of Voldemort’s soul in him.
I literally agree with everything minus the Harry bi.that's just wrong.
No just no.
I disagree because Ron does not seem to be even as loyal as Hermione to her friends. He abandons Harry in the Goblet of Fire and Harry and Hermione in the Deathly Hallows.
That also expalins Sirius as he wasn't necessary brave, although reckless but he did want to be different than is family
He was incredibly brave to face against his parents, especially his mother, and also the courage it took to abandon Grimmuald. Sirius isnt witty, hardworking or particularly cunning, but he did show quite a bit of bravery in his homelife and for being a 'blacksheep' of sorting for his family.
I think the reason why Snape's bravery in being a quadruple(??) agent is because his reason was very self serving (his obsession with lily)
But does the reason for a gryffindor's courage have to be genuine?
df pl are you mad? Don't try to act wiser than Dumbledore
Well, it can't be an obsession because apparently, since his Patronus was a doe(Lily's) that means he genuinely loved her.
Snape loved Lily, it's not an obsession. When Lily died, Snape's patronus became a doe. Lily's doe. Also, Snape was a potions master so wouldn't he just brew love potions to give her if he was really obsessed? Or make it his life mission to break Lily and James up?
He let them be and I think this is some great evidence to support that Snape was really in love.
@@dfpl2554 All emotions are genuine, whether they come from a self- serving or self-sacrificing place, so no matter the motivation, taking action despite genuine fears is being brave.
AHAH! That’s why my “friends” say that I will never belong in Gryffindor, yet I took the test 5 times (once ravenclaw, 4 times gryffindor).
I don’t know why I called them “friends”. They aren’t, they think they are... but they aren’t.
The sorting hat also probably sorted Percy into griffindor because he was a weasly
J.K. Rowling actually said the Sorting Hat made 7 mistakes and one of them was putting Snape in Slytherin
I don't think Snape as a slytherin was mistake. She just said that bcz Snape was a character which is loved by many readers (oops no slytherin can be good -Jk Rowling )
What were the 7 mistakes? 1. Regules Black. 2. Peter Petigrew and who else and why?
She never said it actually, it's fanon.
that moment when you realize that the biggest house prejudices are pottermore and jk rowling...
I dunno, I can see one Hufflepuff trait in Severus Snape. “Always”.
Your lisp is so beautiful. It's really soothing to listen to. Please never change.
For example,if regulus had been placed in Gryffindor, he might not of become a death eater, discovered his secret. Every house that kids are placed in starts them on the path to where they are ment to go. The dark lord was going to rise. The sorting hat know it and did what it could to achieve his downfall.
I fit into Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. I am smart and I value learning but I value everything a Hufflepuff is. I have taken the Pottermore test (twice because I had to make a second account) and both times I got Hufflepuff. So, if I went to Hogwarts, I might have been a hatstall
I value that you didn't shorten everything and spelt everything out. Most people don't do that (and I know it's a weird thing to like but I rarely ever see this)
Anni Shae
Most people I think primarily fit into two houses the most - I fit into Slytherin and Hufflepuff the most.
If I went to hogwarts now I would probably end up in Slytherin as that’s what I got on pottermore when I most recently took the test and I value ambition the most. But if I went to Hogwarts when I was actually eleven then I’m pretty sure I would have been a hufflepuff.
♥️All gryffindors are not brave
Peter Pettigrew
💙All ravenclaws are not smart
Gilderoy Lockhart

correct
Percy is definitely a Slytherin.
Oh and Since Harry almost got into Slytherin, does that mean he valued the traits of a Slytherin.
Peter Pettigrew probably asked to be in griffindore because he wanted to be with james lupin and sirius
I think Harry fit well in Gryffindor. Not only is he daring and will do anything for his friends, he doesn’t fit into any other houses. He’s never been exactly cunning or ambitious unless it’s for Quidditch or someone’s in danger. He can’t be hufflepuff (I don’t think this needs to be explained) or Ravenclaw cuz he’s done a lot of stoic stuff and was an average student.
Love the video!! What if a dumb dumb valued learning and knowledge above all? If they were then sorted into Ravenclaw, would they ever be able to enter the common room?
Probably not on their own at first, but they'll probably improve (slowly but gradually) through their time at Hogwarts.
Some of my unpopular opinions:
Dumbledore should have been in Ravenclaw or Slytherin. He and Grindelwald dreamed of being the master of death in their youth, and in the first book, Harry and Ron think Dumbledore is mad, but Percy explains that Dumbledore was a genius, fitting two of the qualities that are associated with being a Ravenclaw (Uniqueness and being Intelligent). He is also unique because in the books, at some of the feasts, Dumbledore is spotted wearing all sorts of hats.
Snape could have been in any of the houses. He could have been a Gryffindor because he was brave, and was a spy for Dumbledore all along. He could have been a Ravenclaw because of his interest and knowledge of potions. He could have been a Slytherin because he was cunning and ambitious. I actually believe that he could have been a Hufflepuff because of his loyalty to Lily. After all, he hated Harry and his father, James, but still tried to keep Harry safe, because that’s what Lily would have wanted.
Percy Weasley could have been in Ravenclaw. He was ambitious, and had really good test scores. He also payed very good attention to his studies.
I know this was really long, so props to you if you read it! Also, like if you are a fellow Ravenclaw!
I agree with everything. And I think Dumbledore should have been a slytherin too
Regulus is just the best character in the whole series. We stan regulus

There are mentions of Crabbe and Goyle repeating the OWL level DaDA
(HBP)
"I would’ve had Crabbe and Goyle with me if you hadn’t put them in detention!”
“Keep your voice down!” spat Snape, for Malfoy’s voice had risen excitedly. “If your friends Crabbe and Goyle intend to pass their Defense Against the Dark Arts O.W.L this time around, they will need to work a little harder than they are doing at pres -”
The Sorting Hat has a very difficult job: It has to try to get a quarter of the new students in each of the houses. A tricky exercise in logistics.
Hey Seamus, I am a big fan of you and really love Harry Potter as well. One thing about Harry Potter that has always boggled me is that Colin Creevey has to have been a muggle born because he was targeted by Tom Riddle, but if he was a muggle born then how could he have a magical sibling? What are the chances of two children (non-twins) who were born to muggle parents both being wizards. Unless maybe Dennis (Colin's brother) was in a similar situation to Petunia Dursley in the sense that he wanted to be magical like his brother and sent a letter to Dumbledore requesting a spot at Hogwarts. I am not sure if this is true but to me it seems too coincidental for them to be muggleborn brothers.
I would say the chance is more or less the same as for two dark-haired parents to have two blonde children... They both have to have the right genes and the genes have to combine in the right way, but that doesn't mean it cannot happen more than once in the same family.
That makes sense
They probably had relative with magical blood long before they ewere born. One thing to explain muggleborns are distant realtuves of them with magical blood.
Hagrid is a Hufflepuff
Hermione could be a Ravenclaw
Dumbledore has a Slytherin soul
Draco has that Gryffindor pride
Early crew where you at!
Rand Riman z I'm sorta here
Rand Riman for a second I thought ur profile picture was a little umbridge
That actually explains my situation on Pottermore quite well. Every time I have ever taken the Sorting Hat quiz, maybe 7 or 8 times, I am always sorted into Gryffindoor though I do not consider myself that brave, I low-key have social anxiety and am afraid of heights, confrontation, etc. However, while I do value all the other traits shown by all the other houses, I strongly admire bravery and courage above all and would also always wish to be more brave myself. I think that this theory also implies that we, as humans, can be whatever we want to be and I just think that's a nice thought.
I’m a hufflepuff but I share qualities with Ravenclaw. The reason why I wasn’t put in there was I believe what Hermione said. “Books and cleverness there are more important things,friendship and bravery.” Although I don’t 100% agree with the bravery part I definitely agree with friendship. Hence the reason why I got sorted into hufflepuff.
I'm a Slytherin, ambitious, resourceful, intelligent, cunning and a born leader.

Every time there was a hatstall or near hatstall the hat always ended up putting them in Gryffindor, and the hat was originally Godric Gryffindor's hat that was enchanted by all four founders into the sorting hat.
xMeowItsZufix I didn't have a hatstall and I am a gryffindor
It can also be that the hat sorts them into houses that have the values they need to improve. For example, putting Lockhart into Ravenclaws to 1) help him realize that he’s not the only one with magic, 2) to surround him with those that would encourage him to study hard, and 3) put him in a house that encourages competition between people to motivate his efforts. However, Lockhart, despite having the ability, failed to learn these lessons and never bothered if he wasn’t automatically great. I feel like this is a third sorting option.
Idk, I think the houses aren’t about what you are, but rather what you value.
>> legit didn’t realize he would say that, I wrote early on in the video😂
YES IT IS REAL IT IS REAL IT IS REAL
i dont konw why thats funny but it is
Hello im, a slytheryn and i do not approve of the dramionie ship draco is my senpai
I once read a headcannon that the only people who are put in Griffendor are the ones who ask the hat for a house, like harry asking to not be put in Slytherin or Neville asking to be put in ravenclaw. That explains why almost all the ones that don't fit their house are between Griffendor and another house.
I also like to think that just because someone sorted into a house never exhibits that house’s traits, they still belong to that house because if they were given the opportunity to exhibit them they would. For example a Gryffindor might never come across a person needing saving, but if they were to be put into a heroic situation they have the potential to be brave.
Hufflepuff
#hufflepuffpride
7th Ok sorry no one cares but ello there how you doing ok bye bye
Maybe just like Neville Peter Petingrew had the potential of being really brave, but under certain circumstances that potential was never shown.
I've always headcanon'd that Gryffindors are chosen out of people who ask to join. Someone who is introduced to this new world, even if they grew up in a wizarding household, has to ask this magical talking being that would terrify most children to join a certain house. For instance, Harry tells the hat he doesn't want to be in Slytherin, while the Weasleys all have this idea that they need to be in the same house. Hermoine, who has clearly researched all of the houses, would most likely wish to be in Ravenclaw, while Neville would quietly request Hufflepuff.
Going back even further, we see that James' family was all Gryffindors, and Sirius' only goal was to not be in his family house of Slytherin. Lupin would probably tell the hat of his situation, not asking for any particular house as much as 'this should factor into your decision'. Peter would probably admire the group of older Gryffindors and request to join them.
It doesn't answer all of the hat's flaws, but I've always considered it a factor. When someone tells me they are either Gryffindor or ___, I always say, would you talk to the hat?
-A Fellow Hufflepuff
El W I didn't choose gryffindor I didn't care what house I got
It is just a personal headcanon of mine, though I phrased it incorrectly! I mean that if one in the Harry Potter universe were to favor a house, they would be sorted into Gryffindor regardless of their other traits. It isn't canon by any means, though some of my friends enjoy the idea as well. Without a real sorting hat, we'll never know!
Oh ok I didn't want to sound rude sorry if it came of that way
