Actually, rap would be correct in this instance. Bad rap = someone being known for or associated with something negative that's not their fault or that they haven't done (i.e. they're being "punished" for things they haven't done. Since "rap" was associated with corporal punishment back in the day, getting a bad rap meant being reprimanded for something you haven't done/didn't deserve punishment for). Bad rep = someone having a bad reputation as a direct result of something that they've done or other questionable behaviour.

I think either roughly works in this context, but bad rap isn't necessarily better - to me it implies someone has been inaccurately accused convicted of a particular crime (metaphorically or not). Hufflepuff's reputation isn't linked to a particular (inaccurately perceived) action though - it is rather connected with an idea of its traits being ineffectual, weak, unwanted. As such it is a 'bad' reputation because it is unfavourable. (I also disagree with your definition of bad reputation as being 'as a direct result of something that they've done or other questionable behaviour.' It certainly can be, but someone's reputation is just what other's think of them, and is not inherently connected with a particular cause - unlike 'bad rap'.)

Hmm this definitely makes sense. Thanks for laying things out like this! I always just saw them as interchangeable with the same meaning, just one seen as more slang.
