A comment to a friend while IM'ing...
I just realised something. JKR really separated Gryffindor out in the shield images. If you look at them, Gryffindor has a bright (gold) animal in a shield with a gold edge. All the rest are dark animals (black raven, black and white badger, and dark green snake) in shields with black edges. hmm....
If you go down
the page you'll see all four shields together. The closest is the Hufflepuff shield with its cheery yellow background. Ravenclaws, though, are too smart and Slytherins too sneaky, and are
eeeevil.
Starting to think I should change my profile to 'Actually does write fanfic now and then...'
[Edit] Also wondering if this counts for GYWO. And ... it does!
