(Anonymous) 2013-02-22 12:36 am (UTC)(link)The reason the houses do not hang together is because the character of each house is not described in a realistic or comprehensive way, and because the book is eternally unclear on what being in a house implies, particularly in relation to moral choice. To put it in more banal terms, the problem is in part (as OP points out) that the definitions of the houses, esp Slytherin (and particularly if you analyze the actions of the Slytherins rather than bromides about how they're ambitious but not necessarily evil [Slughorn excepted ofc]) and Hufflepuff, are never very coherent. So it's difficult to say what the actual character of each house is, based solely on evidence from the books. The definitions given of houses are ambiguous, but the books rely (in a lot of ways) on them NOT being ambiguous - particularly when the books use house as a proxy for morality. Which they totally do, although never in a clear-cut and unambiguous way, adding another layer of confusion to the question.
