You know, I would love to read a story about WHY all the books are weird like that. Is it insane wizards? General idiocy? Epic pranks that span generations by a time shifted Fred and George?
Personally, I like to think that wizards don't know half of what they think they do. Knowledge is a form of power, and put in a magical field where theoretically anything could happen, I could see that power finding a way to express itself.

They were supposed to be loyal and hardworking, but JKR needed to keep the group that came to Harry's aid in Book 5 small, so the 'loyal' trait was dropped, and we never really got to see if they were hardworking. Of course, it was already hinted at in Book 1, with Hagrid calling the Hufflepuffs 'a bunch of duffers'.
I completely lost my shit on this one. Key and Peele show what an American Inner-city Wizarding Public School might be like. XD Vimeo video link, can't embed, well worth watching though. The name of the school alone is an amazing reference. If you're not getting it, Google it, it's worth it.

Ooo, look at this: someone whose parents loved them and actually wanted them to succeed as a wizard. Well, la-de-da. Mister fancy wand-waver, you. 
My parents did the smart thing and raised me ignorant of magic. Then they got a homeschooling license, told me the truth, gave me a wand and all the necessary books and told me to get cracking.
Anyone know if there are any stories about "Doesn't give a fuck about anything" Dumbledore? After evil manipulative, kindly old fool, and master politician, I kind of want to read a story where he's just been coasting on his Grundelwald fame and seeing how much he can get away with before people call him on it. He really thought that abandoning the savior of Britain would do it, but when that failed, he hired Snape.

The problem with people writing the founders, is that they tend to forget that Wizards and Witches are frequently what I refer to as "f*cking nuts."
Considering that one once tried to train trolls in ballet, another used to let herself be set on fire for kicks, and another one transfigured herself into a Haddock and vanished into the sea, it's easily deduced that a great proportion of magic users tend to be a tad eccentric. I mean, they used to have a game that involved strapping a cauldron to their head and catching falling rocks in it.
So my headcanon for the founders is that they were all a bit odd.
