Hmm. Yeah, it works, in several senses. I'm a workaholic, was one even when I had a crappy job (and felt bad about leaving my boss in the lurch when I got a better one), switched churches a couple years back to go to one invested in equality and social justice issues (and that was HARD because of the loyalty thing, despite the years of growing frustration with the old church's positions on gay rights, there were many good but misguided people there)... but I dunno. I always thought my quick learning and high IQ were my defining points. Maybe I just focused too much on them at the expense of noticing other qualities in myself.

But it's definitely true that once I've said someone's a friend, that doesn't change for anything.

I was just the same; I'd always pictured myself as a Ravenclaw by virtue of my bookworm tendencies and general love of new knowledge. When Pottermore sorted me into Hufflepuff though, it was like a revelation - of course I'd be a Hufflepuff; I'm all about the loyalty and friendship. I just never noticed that about myself til I was sorted and talked it over with some friends.

The thing is, as they pointed out to me, there's a lot of wiggle room in the houses. As Hermione proves, there's nothing saying you can't be a smart, bookish Gryffindor. Or by extension, an intelligent, quick-learning Hufflepuff, or even a brave Ravenclaw or for that matter a loyal Slytherin!
