Have we misunderstood the Hogwarts Houses all along?

I found this posted in a Facebook Fan Page called "District 9 3/4" a few months back and I absolutely adore it.

Bowtruckles

   Bowtruckle According to  Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them , Bowtruckles are tree guardians generally found in the forests of West England, Southern Germany, and parts of Scandinavia. The specimen at left appears to be more comfortable on the ground than most of his kind. Found in the hot, Mediterranean climate of western United States' Central Valley, this little guy appears to be far from home. Given the lack of bowtruckle sightings in this part of the world, one can't help but wonder how this little guy got here and if there others nearby. Is he a random transplant, perhaps having hitched a ride with a friendly witch or wizard visiting relations in Northern California?

Jim Kay I have read Sorcerer's Stone many, many times. However, after my most recent reading, I still have a few questions: "How did you know it was me?" she asked. "My dear professor, I've never seen a cat sit so stiffly." According to Rowling and Pottermore : "Under the guidance of her inspirational Transfiguration teacher, Albus Dumbledore, [McGonagall] had managed to become an Animagus; her animal form, with its distinctive markings (tabby cat, square spectacles markings around eyes) were duly logged in the Ministry of Magic’s Animagus Registry." If Dumbledore helped McGonagall to become an animagus AND her markings are available for public knowledge ... whey wouldn't  Dumbledore recognize her? Where is Harry during the 24 hours after Voldemort's attack on the Potters?  We know that Voldemort attacked the Potter's in Godric's Hollow on Halloween night and, alongside Vernon, we witness the celebratory nature of the wizar...
