I take your point in theory; I wish that, in practice, the percentages of committed Gryffindors vs. blood traitors were quite as you paint them.

Still and all, my parents and I would be gratified if Honoria found a mentor who could help her find her way in Gryffindor without being swayed by its culture of rule-breaking, authority-flouting, and disregard of social distinctions. She's a good girl, if occasionally rash, and we hoped she'd outgrow this awkward phase once she came to school. Of course, we never imagined she wouldn't make Ravenclaw.
