As a Hufflepuff myself (on Pottermore at least) I always feel so... disappointed that Hufflepuffs seem to be the Anderson of the Harry Potter fandom, the butt of everyone's jokes when they're all equally awesome in their own ways.
(And just to clarify Anderson may be a bit of a bully to Sherlock but you can't blame him from getting pissed off that some random keeps wandering into his crime scene, ignoring proper procedure, contaminating evidence and to top it all off, bringing a little friend in. But he still shouldn't be a bit of a dick. Sorry... Couldn't help myself.)
The reason people are put in Hufflepuff is because they have so many qualities that they don't have one trait that points towards one of the other houses. And people tend to forget that the goblet of fire deemed a Hufflepuff worthy to be Hogwart's champion before Harry. And by all accounts Hufflepuff was one of the only houses to join the battle of Hogwarts without a real cause other than wanting to protect their school.
Sorry... Harry Potter was my main fandom before Sherlock so I get a little passionate.
Seriously, even if I don't get a fill out of this, it's cool to know I've encouraged someone's new headcanon. =D
