Inception/Harry Potter idea query

[tigriswolf]

So, today I started writing the fic where Arthur&Eames rescue and adopt Harry Potter.  I have a list of things that change/don't change from version to version, and I've made a list of Harry's yearmates in canon (according to the HP wiki).  The thing is, should I even out the number students?  None of the houses has the same amount, and there are three more boys than girls overall.  So should I toss in a few OCs, just because?

Also, the part I wrote today is McGonagall's, but who should be the narrator for Eddie's sorting?  I can't decide.

True.

I've gotten it so that there's ten kids in each house, except for Slytherin, which has eleven. But, normal schools don't hav even numbers like that, right? And Gryffindor should have one less, since Harry's not there.

Right?

ETA: Gryffindor now has nine, as does Hufflepuff. Ravenclaw has ten, Slytherin eleven. Does that sound better?

Yeppers. Sounds good. I've always found the house designation iffy. Realistically, if the Hat sorts by people's temprament, there'd be imbalances. Big ones. But that's simply not how you run a school. Balanced groups, or nothing is going to work.

Your solution sounds sensible and workable.

I typed up what I have! Almost 2000 words, which means it's already longer than most things I've written.

Excuse me, I am going to be over there, dancing the dance of abject glee...
