Helga Hufflepuff

For any recluse out there that doesn't know a thing about Harry Potter, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry split their students into four houses named after the four founders of Hogwarts.

Godric Gryffindor decided to teach brave and daring students.
Salazar Slytherin decided to teach only the ones with the purest magical ancestry.
Rowena Ravenclaw decided that she would teach the sharp of wit, intelligence and creativeness.
Helga Hufflepuff decided that she would teach them all.

Now, people of the Harry Potter fandom usually sneer and look down upon Hufflepuff as a house. However, this is something that I have pondered from time to time.

People judge Helga Hufflepuff because she said that she would teach them all. They jump to the conclusion that this must mean that she just gets lumped with whatever students are leftover from the other houses. Now, this is wrong. Almost every Harry Potter fan is wrong.

It isn't that she gets the leftovers. What she means is that she will accept any student that wants to learn and won't judge them for who they are. Hufflepuffs can still be brave, intelligent, pureblooded, and anything else in between. But they won't be judged by any of it. They will always be seen for who they are and not for a single defining quality like the other three houses.

Looking at it like this, I think that actually, Hufflepuff is the best house to be sorted into.
