Many students at Hogwarts are taught to think and believe certain houses are better than others, and that is where they belong whether it coincides with their personalities or not, even before attending the school. For example, the Weasley children are taught to understand that Gryffindor, where both their parents Molly and Arthur Weasley were placed, is the house they belong in, as is Draco Malfoy with Slytherin. He has been taught to think that he belongs in Slytherin where both his parents were selected into. Rather than making their own opinions on each house, they have already been made and distorted by people outside of themselves.

Every year from kindergarten to middle school, I would get recognition…
