Have any of you ever wondered about what house Trelawney would be? If you have then this is the right place!
Canon conundrums is basically a thread where anyone can discuss about a characters Hogwarts house placement and why you think that character belongs there.
Without further ado, lets discuss about Sybill Trelawney's house!
I personally think she would have been in Ravenclaw because of her infinite thirst for the beyond.
If anyone has any questions/comments about how to make this thread better, just pm me! That also includes if you are confused about the whole canon conundrums thing.
I give credit about this idea to Pottercast as they are the ones who started this whole thing.
I don't know if this thread exists if it does then I'm very sorry! sweatdrop

Personally, I think this is a great idea! There are some characters in the books that have always made me wonder what House they belong/belonged to.
Anyways, I agree with you on Trelawney. She'd make a pretty good Ravenclaw considering her 'knowledge' of the beyond and all that jazz. And thanks to Luna, I kind of think oddballs suits in Ravenclaw. I apologize in advance to all Ravenclaws of this Guild. lol
I've got to ask, which House do you think Kingsley belonged to in his school years?

I've always thought Trelawney was a Ravenclaw too. razz
Rita Skeeter, with her interest is having all of the information (even if she doesn't report it correctly) also seems Ravenclaw-ish to me.
Kingsley is brave and calm...Hmm...I think he was a Gryffindor. I know Moody was a Gryffindor; he couldn't be anything else! exclaim
On the flip-side, Umbridge is too ambitious to be anything aside from a Slytherin. domokun Her precious Fudge, also characterised by love of power, was probably also in Slytherin.
I think Quirrel was a Hufflepuff. Wait, wait, here me out before you raise your wands! gonk JKR said he taught Muggle Studies for years before becoming DADA teacher. I know not all Slytherins are prejudice, but most are, making Slytherin less likely. Most of Voldemort's, like Lucius, only acknowledged Voldemort when he was powerful and didn't have to work hard, but Quirrel was loyal and put forth LOTS of efforts sharing his body and killing the unicorns.
Were ALL the Weasleys in Gryffindor? Arthur is so dedicated he suits Hufflepuff in my eyes. heart
This is a good thread; I'll post again later! razz
Where do you think Neville's Gran was?

Sorry for posting another reply so soon after my first, but I love the idea of Quirrel as a Hufflepuff! Not just because I am one, but because I love characters that breaks the House stereotypes, such as Zacharias, Slughorn etc. And you do make a good point about him being one due to his hardworking nature, and he was certainly loyal.
To me, it seems like Kingsley could be in just about any Hogwarts House which makes him a little more difficult to label. He certainly have bravery, loyalty, intelligence and ambitions. He's the whole package! surprised
Neville's grandmother must have been a Gryffindor in her young years. That was at least my impression when I read about her in the seventh book, where she fought bravely like a lion! What can I say, I got new respect for her.
What House do you think Gilderoy Lockhart belonged to?

Neville's gran was a Gryffindor. All that stuff about bravery and doing his parents proud and all that. It just screams Gryffindor to me.

I am so glad that people responded to this thread! I heard that Moody was a Slytherin though, I don't remember where I read that? eek I totally agree with Kingsley and all, he is extremely brave and intelligent. Lockhart to me is Slytherin because he will do everything to get recognition and fame. The whole power hungry thing just screams to me as Slytherin.

Hmm, I've never heard anything about Slytherin!Moody being canon (and the all-knowing HP Lexicon doesn't say anything, either), but I personally would LOVE him to be Slytherin. The whole paranoia thing fits very well with that. XD
Let's see...other characters...did it ever say which House Andromeda was in? What about Scrimgeour?
AHH I love theorizing about things like this.

I also love the idea of Moody in Slytherin! Besides, Harry is so prejudiced against Slytherins that it would have been nice if Moody was one since Harry respect him.
Scrimgeour seems like a good Hufflepuff if you ask me. He was so loyal that in the end he was willing to die for Harry despite that they didn't have a very harmonious relationship. But he was also willing to do whatever it took to achieve his goals, so he have some traits that would suit a Slytherin as well.
I've heard rumors that Andromeda was a Slytherin, but that's just speculation unless J.K Rowling reveals that she actually was in that House. The problem with Andromeda is that we know very little about her. She was certainly courageous, standing up to her family and marrying a Muggle Born, so perhaps she was a Gryffindor?

The Ghoul In Pajamas Can we ask more canon conundrums like in Pottercast, or just houses? Of course! This thread is about ANY canon conundrums, Houses is just the tip of the iceberg and also, its the easiest thing to theorize about. So put in any other canon conundrums that seem interesting to you. Andromeda, I'd like to think she was Slytherin and she stood up to her family as one. Gives the house more perspective.

I think it's fun to consider the possibilities too! cool
Most fan fictions I read put Andromeda in Ravenclaw, and I'm inclined to agree because Sirius loved her, and he was fiercely prejudiced against the Slytherins, so she wouldn't be there. idea Her family would be angry she wasn't a Slytherin, but because she wasn't sorted into Gryffindor (Slytherin's arch-enemy) or Hufflepuff (the House most looked down upon) she wouldn't have been as treated as badly by the family as Sirius was. Besides, it would've been more difficult for her to sneak around with her Muggle-Born boyfriend if she had Slytherin dorm mates. xd
Because Scrimgeour is described as literally resembling a lion I'd put him in Gryffindor, but I don't dispute anyone else's theories about him either; he could be anything. 3nodding
Although, I do have to say that I disagree with Moody being anything except a Gryffindor. Yep, I'm greedy and the bloke that can see through walls is in my House. lol
Conversely, I whole-heartedly agree with everyone about Lockhart; he's definitely Slytherin since the only thing that he valued was his own reputation, not knowledge or integrity. evil I couldn't stand him!
Bertha Jorkins, who Sirius said remembered all of the gossip, was probably a...what? question Remembering information is Ravenclaw-ish, but because Sirius seemed to know her fairly well I think she was probably in Gryffindor with him. If so, I bet Gossipy Bertha and Rule-abiding Lily didn't get along well. xp I wish JKR would tell us who Lily's dorm mates were! Usually, I see Alice (Neville's mother) as one of them, and I don't think that's a bad idea, but I just wish I knew for certain.
Ludo Bagman was most likely a Slytherin. Tricking Fred and George with the fake gold was being disloyal to his word, and was more cunning than witty. Plus, he cowardly ran away instead of admitting it. Sounds like a Slytherin to me.
What about Mundungus? Stealing things from Sirius and selling them isn't Hufflepuff behaviour, and a Ravenclaw ought to be able to think of a better lifestyle choice. I'd say Slytherin, but Sirius, who is biased against Slytherins, likes Dung so...hmm...Dung was probably a Gryffindor. After all, Wormtail shows us that not all Gryffs are honourable; just most of us are! wink
How about Xeno Lovegood? I've thought and thought about him and I honestly have NO IDEA where to put him! Anyone have a theory?

Well, Moody is also one of those characters who have traits from all the Houses. Who can deny that he's loyal? As a Hufflepuff, I'd also love the idea of the bloke that can see through the walls being in my House! lol
Lockhart was neither loyal, brave nor intelligent. I kind of feel sorry for the Slytherins of this Guild for (most likely) having him in their House. Then again, they've got Snape, so they shouldn't complain.
Xeno Lovegood is pretty much obsessed about knowledge and such, even if his views often are controversial in other people's eyes. He also tried to recreate the lost diadem of Rowena Ravenclaw which makes me think he was very proud of being a Ravenclaw. Just my view though.

Andromeda was, without question, in Slytherin. I don't think she really fit it, but Sirius was the first black to NOT be a Slytherin, so she must have been.

I'm really not fond of Lockhart being in Slytherin (because he's an idiot) but it does make the most sense, so I suppose I'll just have to live with it.

I'm sorry Nihilist, but think positive! Bellatrix and Snape, the two greatest characters in the books (in my honest opinion), was both in Slytherin!
Anyways, what House do you think Mr.Ollivander, the wandmaker, belonged to? I have a difficult time trying to decide which House I think he was a member of.
