Sorting the Sorted

Long, long ago, I attempted some Harry Potter meta that was only slightly successful, but what with the movie and all, I did want to reiterate one part of that interpretation in which I feel fairly confident:
  • Gryffindor = Immediate
  • Slytherin = Deliberate
  • Hufflepuff = Practical
  • Ravenclaw = Theoretical
Our major players, Gryffindor and Slytherin, are perceived through action and the ways they go about those actions. Our supporting players, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, are assessed according to their function. I don't think any of the four values I've assigned have intrinsic bad/good associations, but I suppose it all depends on your context.
