If I see one more confession about being proud to be a hufflepuff because they get so much house hate, i’m going to scream. I have never seen any hate directed towards that house and I don’t get where it comes from. We get it, you love your house.

To be fair, I don’t think it’s house hate at all, it’s the Slytherins who get that. I think it’s more of the fact that most people tend to neglect or ignore Hufflepuffs and just assume that they’re the wallflowers of Hogwarts and sometimes that’s waaay worse than knowing people flat out hate you. So yeah, I think that’s the main reason why you keep seeing “I’m a proud Hufflepuff!” posts. It’s to actually make others understand that they too play an important part in the book, and that they have characteristics that are worthy of a praise or two. :)
