Actually it doesn't, I'm American and with the whole living there till I was eight, kind of made it hard for me to give much of a damn about some boarding school and it's housing system.

Realistically the had said I could do a lot of interesting things in Ravenclaw, or Slytherin, and looking at the colours I went with the one I liked.

Really, I look best in red and gold, but that wasn't on the table for me.
