The Characters
We know that many characters would be the subject of on-topic discussions in more than one of the following forums. Snape is at the High Table and in The Slytherins. Ginny could be in OBHWF and Gryffindors.
Therefore, feel free to discuss the character you wish to discuss in any appropriate forum. In other words, don't post an extensive character analysis of Snape in the Hufflepuff forum, but feel free to discuss him in the MWPP-era or Death Eaters folder - you can decide, based on the subject of the post.

For discussion of any character who was sorted into Slytherin House... or who created Slytherin House.
30648 665
The Ravenclaws
Stewart Ackerley took off the hat and hurried into a seat at the Ravenclaw table, where everyone was applauding him.
