And McGonegall, who is clearly very smart, is a Gryffindor.
Because she's got balls of steel.
Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

I think it is a question of what qualities you value as well as what you possess. Luna's explanation of the Ravenclaw password - that you wait until someone has an answer, that's how you learn - was what made me think she really belonged in Ravenclaw.
This makes sense to me.
I always forget- are there any semi-main characters that are Hufflepuff?

Slytherin is the house I understand the least. In the song that mentions the Founders, Mr. Slytherin was all about the pureblood's, and that certainly was important to the Malfoys and so forth, but Riddle and Snape were both half-bloods that were sorted in Slytherin. One of the other songs mentioned that to get into Slytherin you had to be willing to do whatever it takes to reach your goal. Which is not very different from being brave, sometimes.

Ernie McMillan and Justin Fitch-Fletchley, I think, which is really stretching "semi-main."

Ernie's boar patronus does feature in the final fight when the Trio flag.

Tonks was a Hufflepuff? Where do we learn that?
Edit: Oh, on Rowling's site again. How odd.

I did sort of mean "semi-main" as in "I recognize the name". Also, I sometimes get confused and think Justin Finch-Fletchley is evil because I read Fay's fanfic.
