My god...if you read the song of sorting hat more carefully, you'll find something hidden within the song...the ideal of hogwarts is...WITHOUT HOUSES!!! The ideal was, that there would be no houses...everyone would live together in harmony...imagine Hogwarts without houses...I think that's something that will be continued in future books...

I thought that the Hat's message was that all the houses should stay together! mmmph Must read that part again...
Actually I always thought that the idea of the Houses was a bit silly, I mean, I know the hat can read the minds and everything but just how can he be so sure if someone is cleverer then he's brave, or more loyal then cunning?
In PS we read that the hat had trouble placing Harry, and in OotP Hermione said that the Hat considered puting her in Ravenclaw, who says that the Hat didn't have trouble with the rest of the students?
There are some people who (in my opinion)have characteristics from more then two houses. Like Fred and George, who could do well in Slytherin -before anyone jump in my throat let me just say that no all the Slytherins are evil but yes, all the evil guys are from Slytherin- back to the twins, they are very cunning and sly. Hermione is the most obvious example, she's bookish enough to be a Ravenclaw. Ron is very loyal, he could do well in hufflepuff, but it's also very ambitious (he wants to exceed all his brothers, and if that's not ambitious I don't know what is). And the list could go on and on.
And besides, people change you know, you can be loyal at the age of eleven but that doesn't mean you'll stay that way forever. Some experiences, or even the time itself can make you change over the years.

Well, I took it in a sense, it doesn't really matter if people think you don't 'suit' the house you're in. It's just like football clubs - why do some people support a particular club and suchlike? If you think of the Houses as just an incentive for students to behave well and gain points, then it doesn't matter if you're a Gryffindor that doesn't act like one. That's where you were sorted, and that's the House you support.
And if there were no Houses...how boring.

lots of schools dont have houses or anything though dont they?
I think you're right it does give an insentive, like at the Colts hockey, rugby etc. everyone tries so our house (CAPON WOOOOOT) can win points
the houses are uber important in HP, twood be a bit less crazily cool if they werent in

Maybe I wasn't very clear, I think the way to sort people in different Houses is a bit silly. I understand that there has to be Houses in order to get the students to compete among them, but honestly, "bravery" "intelligence" "loyalty" and "cunning" are not very clear standard

Aye that she is.
I think the point of the houses is that people are similar to the people around them, because thats how is began. When Hogwarts was founded they were taught by the founders who valued certain aspects of character. However, a thousand years later, it can be seen that people aren't all black and white, and that you don't necessarily get on best with the people who are most like you. For example, Ron, Harry and Hermione are VERY different people, despite the fact that they are all in Gryffindor.
I think the point Jake is trying to make is that some traditions are outdated, and that you shouldn't base your opinions of people on simply one aspect of their character as you may miss out on other prominent features and it may also create eminity and segregation between people who should technically be united.
And also, with regards to Hermione, she should dellyfelly be a Gryffindor. I know she is very intelligient, but she is a Gryffindor for the same reason as Harry, because she chose to be. She values Gryffindor qualities more than Ravenclaw ones, and thats why she's a Gryffindor. And I quote "Me, books, cleverness? There are more important things. Friendship and bravery"

Maybe the Sorting Hat was calling for no houses...I sorta thought that the DA kinda formed a foundation for what the Sorting Hat was asking for in the beginning without anyone realizing it...I mean, there were people from 3 of the four houses, only Slytherin was left out...but they leave people out...so I dunno...could it be a beginning to unity? Who knows, maybe that kid who can see thestrals in Harry's Care for Magical Creatures class will be the first slytherin to join the DA next book...I'm not the author, I dunno...maybe they won't need a DA...or maybe Dumbledore will teach it...or Snape...?
