I'm just re-reading Deathly Hallows and I realised, despite all the specualtion about Umbridge belonging in Slytherin House she couldn't have been because Phineas Nigellus says that Snape was the first Slytherin to be Head of Hogwarts since himself. So where does she belong? Certainly not Gryffindor given her hatred for them, which leaves either Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw. I'm guessing Hufflepuff assuming she was the sort of student that most people associate with that house, that is not being talented enough to belong anywhere else. I think that is more likely given her ineptitude which is shown throughout the fith book. What does everyone else think about this?

Hufflepuffs aren't students that just aren't talented enough. You make it sound like Hufflepuff is for the misss-fits, those who couldn't find their place in the other houses, but they had to put them somewhere. Wrong! A hufflepuff's main qualities are his/her high sense for justice, loyalty and kindness. Just because a student isn't in Gryffindor does not mean he is not brave. Take Luna's example for that. Or just because a student is in Hufflepuff does not mean he "is not talented enough": take Cedric Diggory's example.
