My strong Hogwarts feelings are usually about how x character would be exempt from the whole system, either because they're not from the U.K. or they're a mystical creature that would lurk in the Forbidden Forest instead, but I do feel that Slytherin is wrong for Ovi.
I didn't dismiss Ravenclaw because I don't think he's willing to learn or because I don't think he's smart, or because I don't know about his degree, etc., but because I was thinking of Ravenclaw as valuing book-learning and intelligence more than other things. I think Hogwarts sorting is supposed to be about what people value most, and the thing that comes across over and over again (at least for me) is that Ovi is pretty big on family and loyalty, etc. (I think "devotion" may have been the word he used in the interview I'm thinking of.)
Like I said, I've talked myself into being able to accept Ravenclaw for Ovi. I'm now at any house but Slytherin. If he has to go to Hogwarts at all..
