The section on traits where it says that "Crabbe and Goyle did not possess the cunning and ambition prized by Slytherin", I don't necessarily find this statement to be true anymore since the 7th book came out. Once it was clear that the Malfoy's name no longer meant anything in the wizarding community, particularly among the Death Eaters, they quickly turned against Draco, no longer taking his commands. To the point that when in the Room of Requirement, despite Draco telling them that Voldemort wanted to be the one to kill Harry Potter, they attempted to do this themselves hoping for approval from Voldemort. So they must possess enough cunning and ambition to only want to align themselves with powerful and important wizards.

Best and Worst
Do you think we should list the worst and best examples of Hufflepuffs? The same with other pages for houses? I'd say the worst example of Hufflepuff is Zacharias Smith. I suppose the nargles are behind it. 20:42, October 1, 2010 (UTC)
- The problem with that is it would be almost entirely subjective. The wiki was a NPOV policy. 70.242.117.208 21:23, October 1, 2010 (UTC)
Traits
I don't get it. In OOTP book, Sorting Hat says that Hufflepuffs are the extra students that don't have any of the other house traits. But in the PS book, it says that Hufflepuffs are loyal. If You Wanna Bust Your Brothers, Follow the Yellow Sidewalk! 19:16, October 13, 2010 (UTC)
- In OotP, the Sorting Hat's song says that Hufflepuff was willing to accept those students who didn't fit with the other founders' criteria, but it doesn't say they don't have qualities of their own. - Nick O'Demus 19:27, October 13, 2010 (UTC)
Stebbins
Why is Stebbins listed as a Hufflepuff? In GoF at the Yule Ball Snape takes ten points from Ravenclaw for Stebbins, although he does also take ten from Hufflepuff, those points were lost by Fawcett.
Nymphadora Tonks
In what book did it say that Nymphadora Tonks was a Hufflepuff? I don't remember it saying she was a Hufflepuff in any of the books, but I could be wrong.
