I think they must have lots of conflicting emotions too, the 'nice' Hufflepuffs, because everyone has non-nice feelings some of the time, so it must be hard to tell yourself that despite those feelings you are still a worthy Huff. Does it leave them feeling insecure? Also does it leave them feeling stupid?

It is a good thing though to be trustworthy and kind, but Hogwarts seems to value those qualities less than foolhardy braveness and cleverness... hmmm
