What do we know about the sorting hat.

<snip>

There's always a few that could go into different houses.

No doubt why Sirius got into Gryffindor instead of Slytherin.

If someone
really wants a particular house, and the hat feels they would fit into
that house, then they should go into the house if there's room.
Harry didn't exactly choose, he could have gone either way and the hat
took his desires into account.

Tho Harry didn't choose to go into a house... he asked *not* to go
into one.

If Hermione was still brilliant but an
umbitious coward, the hat would not have cared which house she wanted
to go into, it would have chosen for her.

Are you basing that on the bizarre choice of a clearly cowardly
Wormtail going into Gryffindor??

By the way, has anyone got a link to a thread where this was
discussed?? I can see nothing in the books to indicate why he wasn't
dumped in Hufflepuff. He is hardly 'noble, chivalrous and/or brave.

If you meet the minimum requirments for more than one school, you may
get to choose, if there is room.

Severus could have gone into three different houses. His preference
may have mattered or maybe there weren't a lot of slytherines that
year.
