My kids and Hogwarts...

[Teg]

So I'm debating on Photoshopping some baby photos of my four kids to represent a Hogwarts house... Keep in mind, I've been working a few people on a Harry Potter project since November...

Wyatt is mean, hateful, and never listens. He's almost 4. I think Slytherin suits him.

Ginny passed at the age of two at the hands of another. But prior, she was born with out lower legs and feet, and had a seizure disorder. She was Strong! She'll be a Gryffindor!

Torrey is almost eight and a major drama queen. Need I say, rather eccentric. Ravenclaw would be a good place for her.

Chloe, she just turned one and is super smart and shows loyal tendencies with a great judge of character.. Hufflepuff would be her home.

What do you guys think?

Don't know them, so can't possibly comment.

Sytherin house doesn't actually stand for hate and arrogance, it became that when Voldemort corrupted it. Salazar Sytherin might have been a Nazi of sorts but Sytherin house officially stands for Ambition.

It's important however to be aware that sorting does NOT determine who you are; we have characters in the series who grew up to defy theirs.
Severus Snape was a Slytherin who always had the open mindedness of a Hufflepuff and became brave and fiercely just like a Gryffindor while Peter Pettigrew was a Gryffindor who had always shown signs of being a follower aimed to impress became a selfish, spineless coward who merely supported whatever kept him alive. In a way that is the power hunger of the corrupted Slytherin.

Slytherin house alone is questionable. If you pay careful attention Slytherin house has never followed it's own rules, Salazar Slytherin may have favored pure bloods but I can name at least two half bloods who were sorted into Slytherin house; Snape and Slytherin's own pure blood favoring decedent, Tom Riddle aka Voldemort. Slytherin may have been a dark man but the house originally stood for ambition and drive which are very good qualities necessary to get us anywhere in life but was corrupted, again by his own blood, Riddle/Voldemort to become power hungry and Nazi. In a way you could say it became the other side of the coin. The ambition was still there but in a dark, close minded way.

There are two sides to each coin and in each house we see this.

Ravenclaws are intelligent and insightful but a lot of them are also a**h***s, just look at how they treated Luna! Intelligence can often come with arrogance.
Even Hufflepuff is not immune, loyalty can be judgmental and petty. Recall in 'Goblet of Fire' among the entire student body assuming Harry had cheated his way in to the tournament it was Cedric Diggory's, the real Hogwart's champion's housemates of Hufflepuff who sneered at him most. Cedric himself was the purest of the Hufflepuffs, he never judged Harry and even tried to ask his friends to back off. In fact in Prisoner Of Azkaban before he was a significant character he displayed a quality of a Gryffindor, justness. When Harry lost the Quidditch mach to Hufflepuff due to dementor interference Cedric as both Hufflepuff's seeker and captain had tried to request a rematch due to unfair circumstances on Harry's part but was denied.

Harry himself was a Gryffindor who actually displayed a lot of qualities of Hufflepuff, he had no prejudices and was kind to all who deserved it AND he had Slytherin qualities that the piece of Voldemort's soul in him didn't necessary cause such as a disregard for school rules. That's something he inherited from his father who was also a Gryffindor.

There is Hermione, a Gryffindor with the intelligence and thirst for knowledge of a Ravenclaw.

Luna Lovegood is another example. She was a Ravenclaw but had the kindness and acceptance of a Hufflepuff and the courage of a Gyrffindor.

Everyone has a bit of multiple houses in them.
Even if your son is hateful he could still be strong minded like a Ravenclaw or gutsy like a Gryffindor.

You're other descriptions sound great but I don't know your kids.
