melannen putting together a single-question Sorting Hat quiz, with a claim that it's based mostly on the canon of the Harry Potter books and the explicit point that the Sorting Hat is doing this to eleven year-olds, and not on the well-developed fanon that has followed and is commonly used in deciding things like Sorting Hat Quizzes that relies on someone's understanding of themselves as they are right now, instead of who they might have been at eleven.liv went over to another post to talk about how Slytherin is not necessarily the house of people who are certain of their place in the world, and it's a great secondary commentary about the descriptions of the houses and goes well with the more direct questions about house descriptions and the methodologies and assumptions of the situation that are in melannen's commentary section.
