Very fuzzy, but. Slytherin and Gryffindor seem to revolve around moral questions, and wouldn't it be more likely for Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw to produce someone really evil? I mean, Ravenclaw is more obvious - Mad Scientist? But Hufflepuff... it occurs to me the lines about honesty and fair play are more important than they might seem at first - take those things away / play fast and loose with the definitions thereof, and you could end up with someone more concerned about getting their job done and done well than about the people who might be involved in it. Just... hard work is only a good thing as far as 1. You don't work yourself into the ground and 2. You don't put anyone else there either.
Also. Fair play should apply to both sides of any equation, one's self as well as the other person.
And now I will crash, before I knot my brain up ala kitten play with yarn. @.@
