Poor Neville. He really is a Gryffindor, not a Hufflepuff, although he seems Hufflepuffish at times.
2003 May 27, Miranda, “Re: Out of the Sorting Hat”, in alt.fan.harry-potter (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.
