Welcome to Gaia! ::

I am in complete agreeance. Hufflepuffs would make great Death Eaters. People are always assumeing that all Death Eaters are Slytherin, which makes me unbelieveably mad.
a) Peter Pettigrew is a Death Eater, losers.
b) Slytherin's are ambitious enough that I really don't think a lot of them would agree to serve someone so absolutely.
c) Look at the other houses! Hufflepuffs would make excellent Death Eaters, they are loyal, and would work hard and most of them would probably do whatever Voldemort said, no questions. Ravenclaws value knowledge, why not try to protect their Wizarding knowledge from going all mainstream and becoming poluted and destroyed by Muggles? No house is exempt from the possibility and, I believe, the fact of containing Death Eaters.

And that was only mostly off topic...

Death eaters you say? *strokes cin thoughtfully* and perhaps not just Death Eaters. but any cause..... With an army of Hufflepuffs at my back I could make the whole world tremble!! *giggles maniacly*

Poppet, I do believe you're onto something. Hufflepuffs can be as evil as any house and just as loyal supporters of a Dark Lord bent on world domination and the cleansing of the wizarding world. Though, I don't think that's exactly a good thing.

There are mentions of Sytherins opposing Voldemort. So to say that all Slytherins are Death Eaters is completely untrue. Not every person who is placed in Slytherin is evil or going to join evil. People should realize that evil is not contained in just one house. Anyone can join Voldemort.

i agree with you completely Zaurak. Hufflepuffs and all the other houses could be deatheaters. I just hope to say we don't see a Ravenclaw one. (very deadly)

Correction: In the book, Hagrid says there wasn't a witch or wizard in Slytherin that didn't go bad. That does not make it fact, that makes it Hagrid's opinion. We all know he is biased against Slytherin (or at least we all should know, if we were paying attention). It's a generalisation, no more true then if I said all Ravenclaws are stuck up, all Hufflepuffs are pathetic, and all Gryffindors are bloody stupid.

I think Peter goes against the Slytherin stereotype. He proves that anybody from all walks of life can be a Death Eater if they choose to be. I still haven't seen this bravery that put him in Gryfinndor.
