ok, well I recommend you go kick the mods. Or post in the Sorting Hat thread, theres an active Ravenclaw in there, someone just got sorted.
Doing it that way should have sent the ravenclaw mods each an email and even if that got lost they should still see your request everytime they sort someone else unless the forum ate it. |

I think that the Sorting Hat out him in Gryffindor because it knew what he would do in later years. I would call him pretty darn brave to even LOOK at Voldemort.  |

I don't think so, I think it just saw in Neville a latent sense of bravery and took a chance and put him in Gryffindor. If Neville had never been part of the six who fight at the Ministry, or even had never joined the D.A., he would have been no less a Gryffindor.
I really don't think the Sorting Hat has that kind of power. Basically, I think it's able to be an excellent judge of character, but that's it. Even an excellent judge of character can be wrong sometime.
Dumbledore seems to have a clear understanding of how the Sorting Hat works, and he seemed to have a deep-seated mistrust of any future-telling magical items.
One of the main themes of the Harry Potter books has been the importance of decisions. It's not our habits or tendancies or what house your'e in or who your family is or what prophesies say about us, what defines us is the decisions we make. |

It would be nice to be 'sorted' into a group you knew you were meant to belong in. The sorting hat is never wrong. It knows what's in your head, and in your heart. It can see where u belong and where u will be the strongest. Too bad it's so hard for us to be sorted in real life. I still don't know where I belong........... 15 years later! |
