Poor Hufflepuff. Everyone who wasn’t cunning, intelligent, or brave got sent to Hufflepuff

Ding-dong, you are wrong.
Everyone who had immense amounts of courage but, when given the choice, would decide that fighting is not as important as staying put to care for the people a war leaves in its wake ended up in Hufflepuff.
Everyone who was extremely intelligent but simply considered it a much more defining characteristic to be loyal and faithful to people they love, rather than taking pride in their intelligence*, ended up in Hufflepuff.
Everyone who wanted to do something important and had enough cunning to manipulate others and wind their way to the top, but never would because they considered it more important to be honest and earn their success fairly and through hard work ended up in Hufflepuff
Everyone who was brave, and smart, and cunning, but did not consider those traits to be the most important and defining aspects of their personality ended up in Hufflepuff.
Helga Hufflepuff made a conscious decision to accept only those students who were honest and loyal and true enough to themselves to say “No. Courage and intelligence and cunning are all valuable traits, but I will not define myself by them because I believe there are things more important than that.”
We are not your fucking leftovers.

Yes, only more than that.  But yes.
And anyone who tries to tell me I’m supposed to be a Gryffindor or a Ravenclaw because I’m “brave” or “smart” needs to read this.
(That and thing thing where your choices mean more than your abilities.  No really, your choices mean more than your abilities.  That’s why Harry’s not in Slytherin and Hermione’s not in Ravenclaw.  Seriously.  All people in all houses can have all traits of all of the houses, what determines which house you put in is a combination of things, but especially what your choices, your values, and your most important life lessons are.  Not your abilities.  Not mostly your abilities anyway.)
