I suppose there's a point to that. And using the Dark Arts doesn't make one a dark wizard. After all, Harry himself has used two out of three Unforgiveable Curses.
The longer this conversation goes on, the more I figure I'd have been a Ravenclaw. Most of my life has been about accumulating knowledge without thinking what it would be good for, and honestly quite a lot of my knowledge doesn't seem to be all that useful.
That said, I'm still not British. Inasmuch as our American schools of wizardry would certainly be unplottable, the Washingtonian in me is telling me that there would have to be a school of magic around here somewhere. Either in the Olympic mountains, on an island in Puget Sound, or somewhere in the northern Cascades. Being as the Sorting appears to be unique to Hogwarts, well... there you have it.
