Harry Potter Characters Who Could Have Been Sorted into a Different Hogwarts House

Many of the characters in Harry Potter have characteristics that would mean they'd fit into houses besides the ones they were in. Some Gryffindors have Ravenclaw intelligence. Some Slytherins are as loyal as Hufflepuffs.
In this video I examine some of the Harry Potter characters who could have been sorted into other houses.

The marauders, specially James and Sirius, would have done great in Ravenclaw too.
They are witty, smart, creative, inventive, etc. As we are shown several times in canon. The map, the two-way mirrors, Sirius's motorbike, becoming animagi, they being described as extremely brilliant are proof of how well they would have done in Ravenclaw.

I feel like Snape could be a good gryffindor but Voldemort would never have trusted him as much as he did when Snape was a Slytherin.

Gryffindor* the spelling. Not trying to be rude 😅

[@yara_muffin]

@@ren_needsfriends thanks for the spelling 😊

I think a lot of people forget that Snape wanted to be in Slytherin. He was sorted into Slytherin after Lily was sorted in Gryffindor. If he really wanted to be in Gryffindor for the sake of being closer to Lily, he would have wished that as he was being sorted. And if he was after that in Slytherin, it was bc he was meant to be in Slytherin.

Ok
Book Sirius= Griffindor
Movie Sirius= Hufflepuff

Another character whose sorting is puzzling to me is Dumbledore. Was he really brave, daring, and chivalrous, like a Gryffindor? I'm not saying he was a coward. But does it take courage to fight someone who is less powerful than you? And we know that even Voldemort feared him.
I know that some people see a Slytherin in him, but that's not my point. I know, I know he had his let's-rule-the-world episode-for a few weeks as a teenager.
My point is, why hasn't he been sorted to Ravenclaw? We tend to forget about his extraordinary academic achievements, magic studies, and magical creations. He understood and performed magic like no one else in the world. And he was constantly knowledge-hungry but had an ability for out-of-the-box thinking.
He dedicated his entire life to educating himself and others, seeing education as his main life goal.
I know that he also fought the Dark Side. But I reckon that the source of his struggle was his wisdom. For other characters, the reasons could be different: family protection, daredevilry, revenge, a sense of duty, loyalty, etc.

Oh, and his main input in the Second Wizarding War wasn't an active fight but mastering the plan.

I think Harry and Ron should've been in Hufflepuff. There's more to being a Gryffindor than being brave. Just like there's more to Hufflepuff than loyalty. Hard work, patience, and a strong sense of justice - would they spend a year looking for Horcruxes without those traits? I don't think so

[@HeatherNickless-vt8zr]

What about who he was during his school days; some of Sirius' actions were also almost Slytherin-like at best.

[@irasoso32]

Snape never struck me as particularly ambitious, so I'm not sure that Slytherin was the right house for him -- and IMO, Snape wasn't self serving for turning on Voldy out of guilt -- but generally, no one else ever feels guilt for the wrong they do (did Dumbledore ever feel guilty for bringing back the Tri-Wizard Tournament, hiring fake Moody -- and getting Cedric killed?) Snape also might have been a good Ravenclaw .... smart and inventive (creating several spells) -- wonder what might have happened if he ended up in that house (especially if James and/or Sirius ended up there also)

3:14 What the funk is that on the Hufflepuff crest!? It looks like deformed panda!

[@ren_needsfriends]

Y are u UNDERRATED!!!
Hermione Granger one's made my jaw drop cause it made sense.
The whole Weasley family be in Slytherin. But George is not

[@suecarol1563]

Hermione is the most ambitious of the group. She wants to be seen as the best.

[@sergeyoneill1344]

Apart from bravery, what other Gryffindor qualities does Snape actually possess? He's calculating, yes he does get a bit hot-headed at times; though we all do. Snape, manages to fool Voldemort and most of his followers. Could we see Harry doing that? Or Ron? Snape creates spells, potions and edits his school textbook. Which requires intelligence, adaptation, resourcefulness. Sure, Harry is good at adapting; though how much of the material? Snape is brave yes. But, he's also Loyal; first to Voldemort then to Dumbledore and Hogwarts. Loyalty is a quality that Hufflepuff values. Not, Gryffindor. Yes, Gryffindors are loyal; but it's not one of the biggest traits the house wants or analyses for consideration
