The day after watching Downfall, my dad and I explained to my younger brother over dinner why the house traits at Hogwarts are not necessarily good or bad, using members of Hitler's government and military as examples. Goebbels was an obvious hufflepuff, Himmler was Ravenclaw, Speer was Slytherin, Weidling was Gryffindor and so on.
