I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

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.

Don't know if it's in the books.

move out and draw fire

Any idea who becomes Headmaster after Snape? Presiding over the Reconstruction and all?

One neat thing about Hufflepuff: Badgers are cool. And did you see that article about the Iraqi claim that the UK had released man-eating badgers into Iraq? Clearly Hufflepuffs are widely feared.

McGonagall?

I wonder who became Minister of Magic?
