The Hufflepuff hate makes me sad ;A; I get that in-canon, there's a lot of inter-house competition and whatever, but the fans seem to see all of the bad and none of the good.

Then again, some of the (technically) canon stuff regarding the houses and everything is...disconcerting. I came across a Pottermore spoiler for those sorted into Ravenclaw, and the prefect was going on and on about how Ravenclaws were all accepting, especially of the eccentric and whatever, and then proceeds to put down Hufflepuff house :|

I'm probably a Hufflepuff myself, though I definitely share traits with the other houses, and not all the Hufflepuff traits fit me. And that's how it is for most people, in canon and out. In the books, all we know about the other houses is from Harry's point of view, which is clouded by other people's opinions because he's still just a kid, and now all the readers are taking Harry's views as fact without bothering to form their own opinions (other than "their" house is moar better - which, btw, I'm getting a kick out of the identity crisis secrets on f!s thanks to Pottermore).

I don't know. I'm just here to say I hear ya.
