      Poor Neville. He really is a Gryffindor, not a Hufflepuff, although he seems Hufflepuffish at times.

      But I wouldn't say he was very Hufflepuffish or Gryffindorish either.
    • 2005 July 8, Beowulf Bolt, “Re: Raising god-level children”, in rec.arts.sf.written (Usenet):
      I see Hufflepuffish spirit in the unwillingness of Cornelius Fudge and the Ministry of Magic to accept that He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named has returned and that traditions et al need to be altered to deal with the threat. Heck, the whole society seems stifled by Hufflepuffish values.
