I think I'll give it a try... and what better series to sort than some characters from Pokemon?

Generation 1:

  • Red: First off, any pansy who can't shove his way past a decrepit man who hasn't had his coffee does NOT deserve the title of Slytherin under any circumstances. Building on that, his personality is far too passive for Gryffindor. (Oh wow, a Rocket hideout... well, back to the Pokemon center...) Really, as a 'wanderer of the world' with the tendency to take up random interests as he damn well pleases, he's a Hufflepuff. He doesn't even keep the title of Champion after he defeats the Elite Four, and it isn't because of 'chivalry' like Harry Potter and the Triwizard Cup, it's just because he doesn't care much about the prestige of being the strongest trainer in the world... though he is one badass Hufflepuff, all things considered, especially when he appears in G/S/C.

  • Blue: It's pretty easy to bracket Blue into Slytherin. He's as ambitious as they come, pretty cunning and resourceful (always one step ahead of the player) and kind of a sociopath. (It's incredulous that he walks right into Silph with no intention whatsoever of doing anything about the Rocket problem when he could obviously save the place himself without much effort). The only other house he could possibly be in is Ravenclaw (due to and his independent nature and of course, his brilliant strategy of not using a mono-type team), but his pride tips the scale, making him a true blue Slytherin.

  • Professor Oak: The obvious choice would be Ravenclaw (which is more than likely where he would go if he was younger), but it's actually viable to sort him into Hufflepuff. He's not a Slytherin by any stretch, (I want you two to carry out my dream for me!) and anyone who considers dangerous the deadly Rattatas and Pidgeys outside Pallet Town isn't much of a Gryffindor. Still, considering his ability to sense the potential of new supertrainers, his intelligence/prestige and of course, his scolding of Blue, he isn't so passive that I'd consider him a Hufflepuff over a Ravenclaw.

  • Giovanni: It's kind of hard not to place the personality profile of a mob boss into anything other than Slytherin. The cigar helps too.

  • Lance: Gryffindors are generally overconfident and full of themselves, and these two traits are basically Lance's personality in R/B/Y. I mean, who would have the nerve to declare with a straight face, "Your League challenge ends with me Red," after just getting his ass pasted by Blue?

Generation 2:

  • Gold: This protagonist is pretty much a carbon copy of Red, except he's a bit more serious about his hero work (the way he works with Lance, for example). He's still very much a pushover, literally being Pushed Over several times by his rival and playing along with Clair's stupid Dragon's Den game, so he doesn't quite tip the scales of the Hufflepuff/Gryffindor scale yet. Still a Hufflepuff.

  • Silver: While he has a goal of becoming the "Greatest Trainer Ever," that isn't really his primary focus (consider that he never bothers with any of the Gyms). His main trait is his impulsiveness (stealing two of his Pokemon, first off) and lack of respect for Team Rocket, due to their being "cowards." He tends to get around by arrogance and intimidation. All in all, this guy is a Gryffindor, just with a different agenda and principles than the traditional type.

  • Professor Elm: This poor guy is essentially an Oak minus any badass value the original may have had. Hufflepuff.

  • The Admins: Seriously? You Rockets are so insecure that you want your leader back instead of trying to handle this yourselves? What kind of a mob is that? Sheep. Hufflepuff. (Note that as harsh as I sound toward Hufflepuff, Red being a truly badass example still stands.)

Generation 3: I never liked this generation, so I'll skim over it. I will note though, that the protagonist finally tips over the scale, and becomes a Gryffindor over Hufflepuff (note the fact that you receive your Pokemon by saving someone). The pathetic excuse for a Rival is Hufflepuff, while Wally is probably a Gryffindor.

Generation 4:

  • Lucas/Dawn: Most definitely a Gryffindor. These two are pretty active and stopping Team Galactic and there are a lot more competitive outlets available in this game. Oh, if only they knew how goofy these villains are compared to the original Team Rocket...

  • Rival: My first thought was, "Oh my God, Hufflepuff," but then I realized once again, that being incompetent =/= Hufflepuff. This guy is... reckless... impulsive... overconfident... yeah. Gryffindor.

  • Cyrus: Uh... I'm not even sure if this guy received any character development at all. In any case, maybe Ravenclaw, since he's somewhat of a mastermind (though vastly inferior in that respect to Giovanni).

  • Cynthia: It's kind of sad that Cynthia is given more of a personality than the game's primary antagonist. As she mentions to the MC, "calculating coolness" (plus passion) essentially sums her up. Cynthia is a Slytherin, and not just because she dresses like a goth, but because her personality is simply that—dangerous, but purposeful—snakelike.

I didn't do the anime characters since I'm not familiar with the entire cartoon, so perhaps someone else could Sort them.

Umbridge as a Hufflepuff? How did you work that one out - between her power-hungry nature, slimily manipulative actions, and total preferential treatment of Slytherin it's pretty evident she wore green while she was at Hogwarts.

Umbridge doesn't get anywhere by being manipulative. She brute-forces her way through everything. (Then again, that seems to be true of most Slytherins. Snape, Riddle and Crouch Jr. are the only notable exceptions I can think of at the mo'.) I don't read her as power-hungry so much as fanatically loyal to the government, including the Scrimgeour government. If I were to define where Umbridge is coming from in a word, that word is bureaucracy. And Slytherins don't tend to have time for minutiae like that.

As for her favoritism toward the Slytherins, they're the only ones around who will pick her over Dumbledore. (Aside from Zacharias Smith, but he's got prior obligations.)

Thought for sure someone would've done Haruhi Suzumiya by now, but apparently not. I'll have a crack at it.

Haruhi: She's kind of an all-singing, all-dancing character, so it's better to go by process of elimination. She's definitely not a Hufflepuff, and would never accept being placed in such an ordinary House. In the end, despite having the intelligence of a Ravenclaw and having an ambition beyond even the reach of a Slytherin, her gung-ho, guns-blazing, leap-before-looking attitude is Gryffindor all the way, and it's where I'd put her. Besides, it's the house of heroism. Do you think she'd accept anything less than The Hero?

Kyon: This is a tricky one. Loyalty is his main trait and probably his most admirable one, so Hufflepuff immediately springs to mind. But he's no coward, either, and he has a bit of Gryffindor in him too. In the end, though, I think Hufflepuff is his true home. I feel like his courage stems from his loyalty, not the other way around. (Slytherin, and especially Ravenclaw, are right out. Although he may hide the intelligence of a Ravenclaw he does not share the attitude.)

Yuki: Ravenclaw. Did you even have to ask?

Mikuru: As she stands at the moment, the blandest sort of Hufflepuff you can imagine. But somewhere in between Asahina (small) and Asahina (big), she graduated to Slytherin. I sometimes wonder if she's not orchestrating the whole thing.

Koizumi: Ravenclaw again; his philosophizing pretty much makes him a shoo-in, and his logical approach to the world, although not always as helpful as might be thought, is very Ravenclaw.

Tsuruya: Although she has the boisterousness of a Gryffindor she's a genius, at least according to Kunikida in the new novel. So Ravenclaw, I guess? I feel like she could fit in any house pretty easy, though.

Actually, most of her actions in OOTP were between direct (the detentions) and fairly manipulative (the whole bit with Quidditch, attempting to manipulate the atmosphere of Hogwarts itself) actions to attempt to break Harry's spirit - and in any case, Slytherin's aren't limited to being complex planners, just as long as their being cunning, scheming, and/or manipulative, which she was certainly being that whole year.

The seventh book definitely shows her as being power-hungry, or at least having a love of status-elevation and dominance over others.

I saw someone earlier did Discworld but I'd like to add my thoughts.

  • Rincewind: toss-up between Hufflepuff and Slytherin (really wants to be a wizzard), but since Hufflepuff is seen as the 'boring' house, he'd probably ask for them
  • Death: Either Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff, but probably a Hufflepuff at heart
  • Cohen: Gryffindor
  • Twoflower: I'd say Hufflepuff or Gryffindor (leaning definitely toward Hufflepuff), but since he's now a Grand Vizier and Discworld runs on narrative causality, so...
  • Vetinari: Slytherin so much
  • Granny Weatherwax: hard one, but Gryffindor
  • Nancy Ogg: Hufflepuff?
  • Tiffany Aching: Ravenclaw (read the dictionary because she didn't know she was supposed to)
  • the Nac Mac Feegles: Gryffindor, maybe the kelda gets super-Ravenclaw tongue
  • Archancellor Ridcully: one of those that could go anywhere, so it'd depend on what he values—Ravenclaw probably
  • Ponder Stibbons: Ravenclaw, Slytherin in his first few appearances, but later he relies less on cunning and resourcefulness and more on Hex and his fellow wizards
  • Sam Vimes: Gryffindor
  • Lady Sybil: ...Slytherin by a hair; very resourceful
  • the Librarian: Ravenclaw or Gryffindor, probably the former
  • Lu-Tze: Ravenclaw or Slytherin, but probably Ravenclaw
  • Jeremy Clockson/Lobsang Ludd: Hufflepuff by just a tiny bit over Gryffindor
  • William de Worde: Slytherin over Ravenclaw by a bit
  • Moist von Lipwing: Slytherin? He enjoys games with people, much like Vetinari and Margolotta
  • Susan: Ravenclaw
  • Angua: Hufflepuff
  • Carrot: Hufflepuff, maybe Gryffindor
  • Colon: Hufflepuff? (all of these Watch people in Hufflepuff...)
  • Nobbs: ...
  • Lady Margolotta: Slytherin, but shows a little bit of Hufflepuff (more than Vetinari at any rate)
  • Nutt: Hufflepuff
  • Miss Dearhart: Slytherin or Ravenclaw, but we don't know enough about her
  • Low King: Slytherin? Very resourceful.

...I officially know too much about Discworld, and I haven't gone into half of the characters...

On a A Song Of Ice And Fire kick lately:

  • Every Lannister- Slytherin
  • Every Tully- Hufflepuff
  • Targaryens- Master Aemon (either Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw); Rhaegar (probably Gryffindor); Dany (a Slytherin who thinks she's a Gryffindor). It's hard not to see them as mostly Slytherin, given all the incest to preserve blood purity.
  • Starks- Ned, Robb, Jon, Arya (Gryffindor); Sansa (Gryffindor or Hufflepuff); Bran (Ravenclaw- quite appropriate)
  • Varys- kind of an interesting one- he's scheming, so you'd think Slytherin, but he doesn't seem to be ambitious for himself, and claims to only want to serve the realm- so maybe a Hufflepuff everyone thinks is Slytherin
  • Littlefinger- kind of the opposite of Varys- as an adult, he's classic Slytherin material, but he was raised by the Tullys, so I'm thinking he'd be told Slytherin by the Hat as a kid, but convince it to put him in Hufflepuff
  • Samwell Tarly- Probably Ravenclaw, given his love of learning, but he kind of has that same The So-Called Coward thing as Neville, so maybe Gryffindor.
  • Bronn- Slytherin
  • The Clegane brothers- this is what an evil Hufflepuff would be like.
  • Hodor- Definitely Hufflepuff- he's kind, loyal, and dumb as a post

Shotaro Hidari is totally a Gryffindor. On the other hand his partner Philip is a Ravenclaw. Despite being an annoying girl with a slipper, Akiko is a Hufflepuff because she's there to make sure the Narumi Detective Agency doesn't mess up.

For other main Riders, Tsukasa Kadoya is a Slytherin, Yuusuke Godai is a Hufflepuff. I'll get back when I mull over this.

EDIT: Eiji Hino is a definite Hufflepuff; his caring for people is his defining trait. Shintaro Goto is a Gryffindor, he really wants to be a hero.

First off, let me say that I never knew TV Tropes had a forum until today, and that I've been wanting a thread like this somewhere since I finished A Dance With Dragons. I'll be talking about A Song of Ice and Fire for this post, with spoilers for A Dance With Dragons and everything up to it.

Given that I agree with the assessment of most Lannisters go in Slytherin, I've always found it incredibly amusing that they use the Gryffindor colors and sigil. Tywin, Cersei, and Joffrey definitely go in Slytherin, but I'd disagree on Jaime and Tyrion. (Also, Tommen and his kittens go in Hufflepuff, as does poor loyal Ser Kevan. If you want to go with Hufflepuff-as-duffers, Lancel should go there too.)

Tyrion: Ravenclaw. After all, he says his wit is his weapon, and he needs books to sharpen it as a sword needs a whetstone. I don't think a Slytherin would spend so much time angsting over Tysha, or would be as considerate of Penny's feelings as he is in ADWD. Tyrion's more into learning (about dragons, saddle design, tumbling, etc.) than power for power's sake. Intelligence and humor are his defining characteristics.

Jaime: Gryffindor, (despite the things he does for love), with Hufflepuff in 2nd place. Gryffindor points for saving Brienne, freeing Tyrion in AFFC (though that does come back to bite him in the ass), and because of his joining the Kingsguard for honor and glory, and killing the Mad King because it was the right thing to do. Hufflepuff points for family loyalty, particularly towards Cersei, though that's lessening as his arc goes on - and his joining the Kingsguard against Tywin's wishes and his complete lack of caring about his children are definitely arguments against Hufflepuff. He does gain Hufflepuff-as-hard-worker points for his one-handed sword lessons. Pushing Bran out the window was a typical reckless Gryffindor-type, damn-the-consequences action, performed for Hufflepuffy family reasons.

Agree with all Tullys in Hufflepuff (plus Sansa, who's more Tully than Stark), Aemon in Ravenclaw, Ned, Robb, Jon in Gryffindor. I mean, "Family, duty, honor" might as well be Hufflepuff House's motto. Hodor is also a Hufflepuff, of the duffer sort. Ser Barristan is Gryffindor all the way, as is Brienne.

Samwell Tarly: Loyal and hard-working would point to Hufflepuff, but he's intelligent, wants to be a maester and study, and manipulated everyone into electing Jon Snow as Lord Commander of the Night's Watch. Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff, I can't decide which.

Rhaegar: Ravenclaw turned Gryffindor after he got hold of the whole Prince Who Was Promised idea. Rhaegar as Gryffindor is best summed up by "Rhaegar fought nobly, Rhaegar fought honorably, Rhaegar fought bravely. And Rhaegar died."

Dany: Dany's harder to Sort for me - stuck between Slytherin and Gryffindor. She doesn't have the long-term planning skills of a Slytherin, but she's insanely ambitious. She's also recklessly brave, though (her scene with Drogon in ADWD is insanely badass, and walking into a funeral pyre also qualifies.) Her attempts to save the people of Meereen and her initial kindness towards Mirri Maz Duur also fall under the chivalry category. Right now, I'd go with Gryffindor - I don't know that she has the cunning for Slytherin.

Arya: I tend towards Arya in Gryffindor, but a good case could be made for Slytherin, too - she's willing to use any means to get what she wants (the 3rd name she gives to Jaqen in order to get his cooperation), she's training to become an assassin, and she's more interested in getting what she wants (namely, all those people on her hit list) than in obtaining fame or renown. She doesn't have moral qualms about assassinating a merchant she doesn't know.

Littlefinger: Where else would you put him but Slytherin? In a book full of them, he's the most Slytherin of them all.

Davos Seaworth: Hufflepuff. Crazy loyal, hard worker, all-around good guy.

Most of the rest of the characters in the books belong in Slytherin or Gryffindor. Slytherins include Roose Bolton, Ramsay Snow/Bolton, Gregor Clegane, Walder Frey, Theon Greyjoy, Bronn, Viserys (oh, you crazy white-blonde pureblood, you remind me of Draco Malfoy), Mirri Maz Duur, and the Queen of Thorns. Renly probably goes into Slytherin. The Sand Snakes are Gryffindors, Quentyn Martell is a very stupid Gryffindor, though Doran is probably Ravenclaw. Khal Drogo is Gryffindor. Mance Rayder is Gryffindor, as is Ygritte. The Greatjon is Gryffindor. I'd throw up Asha Greyjoy as another Gryffindor/Slytherin toss-up, leaning more towards Slytherin - cunning and ambitious, but also brave and willing to fight to the death.

There aren't too many other Hufflepuffs or Ravenclaws. Jon Connington, Hufflepuff; Bran, Ravenclaw; Joren (Bran's green-dreaming buddy), Ravenclaw. Willas Tyrell might be Ravenclaw. It's like the ASOIAF world turns Hufflepuffs to Gryffindors and Ravenclaws to Slytherins.

But I haven't even gotten to the person I wanted to discuss! It's more of a question than anything. Where would you put Wyman Manderly?

He's brave: he frees Davos, has his whole revenge plot against the Freys, and is sometimes reckless (calling for the Rat King song, anyone?) He's got honor (his whole revenge plot works without breaking guest right!)

He's witty: "Perhaps it was a mercy. Had he lived, he would have grown to be a Frey," pretty much sums it up. And it would take serious intelligence to come up with the planning that he's done.

He's cunning and willing to use any means necessary to get things done: I mean, he's willing to eat six slices of Frey pie to make sure the Freys eat it, too.

He values loyalty: He's sure interested in justice and loyalty, and is willing to be patient to achieve his goals. "The North remembers," indeed - while everybody else is sitting around and grumbling about the Boltons, Wyman Manderly is serving up justice one slice of pie at a time. He also inspires loyalty in his people - it would take an awful lot of people to be in on the pie plot, and none of them betrayed him.

I thought long and hard about putting him in Slytherin, but in the end, I think he might just be the most badass Hufflepuff ever created.

Other characters who are hard to Sort: Sandor Clegane. Ser Jorah (whose comments about Rhaegar sound like the dismissiveness of a Slytherin talking about a Gryffindor, but whose loyalty to Dany suggests Hufflepuff.) The Red Viper. Stannis Baratheon (very rigid code of honor makes me think Gryffindor, willingness to burn people alive, possibly including children, not so much.) Melisandre. Varys, for the reasons mentioned earlier - but until I know what kind of game he's playing with Aegon, his relationship to Illyrio, and if he's a Blackfyre or not, I'd stick him in Slytherin with Littlefinger. Un-Cat. Loras. Lysa Arryn (after all, there's no House for "completely frakkin' crazy." She's not smart, she tries to be a schemer but is easily manipulated, she poisoned her husband and misled her sister so not really family-loyal, and she's not typically brave, though she is overconfident. Gryffindor by default?)

But I'm interested in hearing what other people think about Wyman Manderly - he's a bit trickier than the other ASOIAF characters to Sort, but he's pretty much made of awesome.

Let's try the cast of Kamen Rider Ryuki:

Shinji Kido/Kamen Rider Ryuki: Hufflepuff, with maybe a little Ravenclaw. Shinji is motivated by the injustice he sees in the rider war. He sees people dying, and wants to put a stop to it, which I see as a very Hufflepuff trait. The Ravenclaw may seem something of a surprise at first, considering how goofy he can be at times, but bare in mind, he is a reporter and many of his actions in the series are very fitting of one. He does not understand the situation, so he goes out of his way to find out just what is going on. The quest for understanding is very Ravenclaw in nature.

Ren Akiyama/Kamen Rider Knight: This one is a bit harder to place, but I think I will count him as a Griffindor. Ren's main goal is to revive his girlfriend, which could be seen as the loyalty of a Hufflepuff, however he is often willing to use underhanded and cutthroat means towards it. This could be seen as a Slytherin trait, however wishing to revive his loved one is not really a personal ambition, and is tied more to his loyalty to her. In effect, I find that he is ultimatly defined more by the sheer bravery and determination he has towards this task, which puts him at Griffindor.

Masashi Sudoh/Kamen Rider Scissors: We don't really know much about this guy, but I would put him in Slytherin. He's a manipulative lier, which seems enough to put him there.

Shuichi Kitaoka: Slytherin. This guy is a lawyer by trade, and he is good at what he does. Shuichi seems to enjoy toying with people's heads more than anything else, and his goal to wish for immortality fits in very well with the Slytherin mindset.

Jun Shibaura/Kamen Rider Gai: Slytherin, but not as much as one might guess. Jun enjoys subterfuge and emotional manipulation, which is in itself very Slytherin, however he seems to enjoy doing it simply because he enjoys toying with people, rather than for any particular personal goals. Still, Slytherin is probably the best fit.

Miyuki Tezuka/Kamen Rider Raia: Ravenclaw. Tezuka is a fortuneteller with an astonishing tendency to be correct, however he feels trapped by his own sense of fatalism. As someone motivated by a need to understand the future, I would see Ravenclaw as a best fit.

Takeshi Asakura/Kamen Rider Ouja: Surprisingly enough, I would put him in Griffindor. Asakura has no loyalties to anyone, no real long term goals to speak of, and no thirst for knowledge. What Asakura does have is sheer guts, and lots of that. I see Asakura as the rare Complete Monster Griffindor, one who is brave, but doesn't use that bravery for anything beyond his own sick amusement.

Hideyuki Kagawa/Alternate Zero: A Knight Templar type Griffindor. Kagawa's methods are not the best, but his motives are fundamentally well meaning, and he does see himself as a hero.

Satoru Toujou/Kamen Rider Tiger: Toujou is basically a Griffindor who missed the point. Satoru wishes to be a hero, but without truly understanding just what a hero actually is. Still, I could imagine Toujou essentially begging the sorting hat into letting him in.

Mitsuru Sano/Kamen Rider Imperer: Sano is a fairly straightforward Slytherin. Sano wishes to regain the wealthy and comfortable lifestyle to which he has become accustomed, and is perfectly willing to both lick boots and switch alliances on a whim if he feels it will aid his goals.

Miho Kirishima/Kamen Rider Femme: Slytherin. Miho is another manipulative type, in that she is a swindler who seduces rich men for their wealth.

Itsurou Takamizawa/Kamen Rider Verde: Another Slytherin. Takamizawa is a fairly standard Corrupt Corporate Executive who wishes to use the rider ware as a means for more money and power.

Mirror Shinji/Kamen Riderr Ryuga: Wants to Become a Real Boy, and does not particularly care who gets in the way of his goal. Slytherin.

Shirou Kanzaki: 50/50 between Hufflepuff and Slytherin. Shirou is loyal to his sister, being willing to reset timelines and manipulate a dozen others to their deaths to get his way. He is profoundly steadfast in his goal, and wishes his sister well, but his methods are entirely through subterfuge.

I draws things. And I seem to be some sort of marine entity.

[up][up] Forgot about Mycella and Tommen. Yeah, they definitely aren't Slytherin material.

Your other suggestions are also interesting. RE Tyrion though, I can see the Ravenclaw aspects, but I think he's right about himself when he comments that he's his father writ small. If he was born into a family that loved him, he'd probably be a friendly scholarly type, but given the family he has, there's a definite ruthless scheming side to him.

RE Manderly, I'm kind of inclined to see Northerners in general as Gryffindor types (except the Boltons who are Slytherin (Roose) and Slytherin/batshit insane (Ramsay)). So, I'd classify him as a Gryffindor who becomes very morally ambiguous. I mean Dumbledor was a Gryffindor, right? And he was no saint either.

Actually I'd put Meriadoc is Ravenclaw,he's clearly the smartest of the Hobbitts and he carries the most traits from Ravenclaw

And Pippin is Hufflepuff without a doubt

Sam and Frodo in the books are Gryffindor (They two trade between Hufflepuff depending on which Lord Of The Rings film you watch.I mean Peter Jackson's Frodo is a coward,but Ralph Bakshi's Samwise barely fits under loyal)

Boromir is Slytherin though

Eowyn is Gryffindor

Gandalf is Gryffindor

Aragorn is Ravenclaw

Away from Lord Of The Rings and onto lets say Sweeney Todd

I'd consider Bilbo a Slytherin, potentially.

I draws things. And I seem to be some sort of marine entity.

Boromir is Gryffindor to the bone. His justification for trying to take the Ring is to turn back the armies of Sauron; before he comes into the book as a character, he essentially spends all his time commanding Gondorian armies and fighting on the frontlines.

When he realises the error of his ways, he protects Merry and Pippin despite them being essentially useless to the quest (as far as we know at the time) at the knowing expense of his own life. 'Cause that's just how Boromir rolls.

As for Warrior Cats Wind Clan is the Hufflepuff House although this is more the case when Tallstar was leader.

Shadow Clan is usually Slytherin or Ravenclaw (Depending on the leader),though Littlecloud seems to be Hufflepuff and Yellowfang as Gryffindor

Thunder Clan is definitely Gryffindor,save Tigerstar and Darkstripe

River Clan alternates between Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw (Depending on the leader)

And Sky Clan and the Tribe are pretty much like Durmstrang/Beaux Batons [YMMV on which is which though]

And now for something completely different!

Sailor Moon!

  • Usagi: I think Gryffindor for manga, Hufflepuff for anime. Anime Usagi was whiny, but manga Usagi was a protector all the way.
  • Ami: Ravenclaw, totally.
  • Rei: Ravenclaw for the manga where she was more of an Ice Queen type. Gryffindor for the anime where she has more 'firey'.
  • Minako: Gryffindor.
  • Makoto: Also Gryffindor
  • Chibi-usa: Gryffindor. Though there's a case for Slytherin
  • Haruka: Gryffindor
  • Michiru: Ravenclaw
  • Hotaru: Hufflepuff
  • Setsuna: I honestly don't know. Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw, I think.
  • Mamoru: Actually I choose Ravenclaw over Gryffindor for him. He's known to be very intelligent.

I'm not one of those people who thinks all villains are Slytherin, and only villains are slytherins. It's just coincidence that none of the characters fit the profile for it in this anime.

Discworld

  • Rincewind: Not sure. He's not ambitious (okay, while he's insistent he's a wizard, he's perfectly happy just being on his own not being dead), not honourable or loyal, not brave. So, that sort of leaves him with Ravenclaw due to his highly evolved tactics of "run away", but it's not a perfect fit. Of course, he's not entirely disloyal, and due to his conscience manages to be very brave in the very specific situations that his cowardice lets him. However, like Autumn said, he'd probably ask to be Hufflepuff simply for the peace and quiet.
  • Vetinari: With his great cunningness, a Slytherin for sure, but a good one. One of the most benevolent dictators I've seen in a while.
  • Granny Weatherwax: Oo, tough one. I'll go with Gryffindor.
  • Death: Hufflepuff, with some Ravenclaw elements.
  • Sam Vimes: Gryffindor/Hufflepuff.
  • Carrot: Gryffindor/Hufflepuff.

Utena is a Gryffindor. Everyone else is Slytherin.
