I have to say, I did see him as a Slytherin... survivalinstinct, the way he manipulates the Dursley's and I just associate cynic with Slytherin really :-P but the Hufflepuff thing is a lot more amusing :-P
which character would he get along with... I like Mongo's suggestion of Zacharias! though I'm not sure because the coward part... Harry does scare the others a lot doesn't he? :-p
personally I like Blaise Zabini, but I have no idea what his character is like really and I can't see a Slytherin hanging out with a Hufflepuff voluntarily...
I think Luna could probably stand himbut she won't be around until next year.
love the Tepes joke btw. my brother and I are reading the story out to each other and lol-ing.
I hope you'll continue soon!
