Favorite Hogwarts Founder. Or whichever one fascinates you the most.
It may be because I'm a Hufflepuff, but Helga Hufflepuff has always been someone I had great appreciation for as founder. The other founders had very specific characteristics and traits they wanted for their houses and that kind of exclusivity always seemed a bit weird to me. I loved that Hufflepuff didn't subscribe to that mentality. She valued kindness and loyalty in her students, but she didn't discriminate who belonged in her house.

Even with all the talk about evil witches and wizards coming out of Slytherin, there clearly must have been something about him that drew the other founders to him. I'd be curious to see them all interact with each other.

Said Gryffindor, "We'll teach all those
With brave deeds to their name."
Said Hufflepuff, "I'll teach the lot
And treat them just the same."

I agree with you 100000%! I adore Helga Hufflepuff's mentality and I'd love to get to know her a lot better than we do! And I also think that the other founders were drawn to Salazar Slytherin for a reason and I'd like to get to know the HUMAN underneath all the dark wizard talk!
