10 Harry Potter Characters Who Were Sorted Into The Wrong House
7. Quirinus Quirrell
Sorted House: Ravenclaw
Correct House: Slytherin
Professor Quirrell’s house was never actually revealed in The Philosopher’s Stone. Thanks to Pottermore, however, fans of the series were able to learn more about Harry’s first Defence Against the Darks Arts teacher.
Due to his actions in The Philosopher’s Stone, Slytherin seemed the obvious house for Quirrell. Surprisingly, he was actually sorted into Ravenclaw.
As a student, Quirrell was often bullied at school due to his nervous demeanour. This neglect led him to pursue power in the hope of feeling a greater sense of pride and importance, which by extent drew him to Voldemort.
Quirrell may well have been clever, but he was clearly more interested in power than wisdom.
