Seriously, I think it's splendid to have others say, "Hufflepuff," even if my gut response is, "But I'm really kinda selfish and lazy!" Besides, don't they say we become what others say of us? I'd rather be thought of as "kind" than almost anything else.
I would be a bit, "Damn, my darker side is all too obvious, isn't it" if others said Slytherin about me.
But overall I think the scope of the houses is too limited. "Brave/Smart/Sly/Doesn't Fit a Stereotype" should generate a boatload more Hufflepuffs than it does, and I think most geek fangirls, which constitutes, what, 99% of lj Potterfans, would be Ravenclaw. So to my way of thinking everyone who desires sorting is likely to be a book-reading geek, which means everyone who desires sorting ends up Ravenclaw. Makes no sense.
Now, the next obvious question for me, is, what house do YOU see yourself in? And just so you know, I really haven't tried to guess the answer!
