No fair enough, and you raise valid points.
However, there must be something said for tradition. While not unusual, if a family has a house they're sorted in to frequently it becomes part of their familial identity.
Percy could have been a fantastic Ravenclaw, but all the Weasleys were Gryffindors. Just as The Malfoys seem to be predominantly Slytherin. There are exceptions, such as Sirius - but you tend to go where your family does.

In terms of the fic itself, (which incidentally, give it a go - it's quite lovely) I think the set up for Sherlock to be in Slytherin was mostly to set a contrast between Sherlock and Jim, as well as to give Sherlock a sense of otherness from his fellow housemates. He doesn't get on with them - well, he doesn't get on with a lot of people, really.
It also serves to create a difference between Slytherin Sherlock and Ravenclaw Adler.

See, it's the "not getting on with people" thing that really quashes Sherlock-the-Slytherin for me because Slytherins are social climbers and Sherlock just... isn't. Also, I'd like to point out Luna again: she has a great sense of otherness from her fellow housemates.

However, no point in getting into an argument over which fictional school house particular fictional characters would go in ^^ I prefer the idea of Ravenclaw Sherlock myself, but that's just me. We shall agree to disagree and have fun! :D

Ahah oh absolutely.

Personally I prefer imagining what it'd be like if there were such a fictional school in my non fictional country. It'd be awesome.

Here's the thing about Hogwarts houses: not all traits of the House will be present on each member. I'm unequivocally a Slytherin (even spotty-at-best Pottermore stuck me there), but in no way would I or those who know me ever describe me as "a social climber" nor do I really get along with people. Just because Sherlock isn't doesn't totally eliminate the possibility that he'd be a Slytherin too. I feel like you missed your whole point (your own point) about Luna in saying that.

[falconwhitaker.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean by "I feel like you missed your whole point (your own point) about Luna in saying that".

But I would like to add that I have now decided there's no point in trying to push people into agreeing with me because A) it's not that big a deal, it's just pretendy fun-times, and B) the exact definition of the different houses is a rather subjective thing anyway, and just because Sherlock doesn't fit into my interpretation of Slytherin doesn't mean he won't fit into yours. And that's fine too. :)
