Proceeding from the "please don't make Vlad a vampire" line of thought, Please don't make a wizard character who has his soul split into 7 pieces, one in the body, and 6 in different boxes, possibly technically named as "horcruxes" What house would Voldemort be, anyway? An Athyra? A Yendi, because of the snake affiliation? No, I think that Voldemort can only be a Jhereg with an Athyra or Dragon parent, and a Yendi on the other side. Harry-Tiassa or Phoenix, probably Tiassa. Hermione-Hawk or Athyra. Ron-(tough one)Tsalmoth. Draco-Dragon? Orca? Dumbledore-Phoenix, Athyra, Issola? Anyway, this is totally OT now :) Jon
