Someone's gotta be sensible...

Of course, everyone wants to be in Gryffindor, but someone's gotta keep this place running while Snakes and Lions snipe at each other...

On the contrary, I've always wanted to be Ravenclaw. And I am. :)

I'm in good company, then. I read your comment about necessary talents coming naturally as a message, and I tend to agree. The whole fate/destiny/purpose trope in Rowling is incredibly annoying, because you know it means that she knows what's coming, and to some extent it doesn't matter what the characters do (and I have that problem with almost any prophetic writing, also many time travel stories).

Plus, courage, as nice as it is, only gets you so far without competence.
