SORTING:
Why Orthus was sorted into Hufflepuff was a mystery,however,he was cunning and ambitious like Slytherin,somewhat clever like Ravenclaw,and brave enough to put himself at risk like Gryffindor.It may be his bookish and forgetfulness was a part of his emotion and the Sorting Hat picked Hufflepuff.
