Poor Neville. He really is a Gryffindor, not a Hufflepuff, although he seems Hufflepuffish at times.
2003 May 27, Miranda, “Re: Out of the Sorting Hat”, in alt.fan.harry-potter (Usenet):I see Hufflepuffish spirit in the unwillingness of Cornelius Fudge and the Ministry of Magic to accept that He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named has returned and that traditions et al need to be altered to deal with the threat. Heck, the whole society seems stifled by Hufflepuffish values.
2005 July 8, Beowulf Bolt, “Re: Raising god-level children”, in rec.arts.sf.written (Usenet):But I wouldn't say he was very Hufflepuffish or Gryffindorish either.
