No, the Sorting Hat doesn't sort too early. First things first, there have been a couple of occasions when the Sorting Hat has possibly made a mistake. The most obvious example would be Peter Pettigrew – who rather than demonstrating courage and chivalry, was weak with a real knack for self-preservation.
No. Nobody has been wrongly sorted, because the Hat makes no mistakes. The fact that Snape was 'brave' means little; Dumbledore was unarguably the most brilliant character, yet he was a Gryffindor, not a Ravenclaw, and so was Hermione.
Professor Minerva McGonagall is the most famous hatstall. The Sorting Hat debated for a whopping five and a half minutes to determine whether the future Hogwarts headmistress should be placed in Ravenclaw or Gryffindor. Spoiler: She went to Gryffindor.
He actually asked the Sorting Hat to place him in Hufflepuff, as he was intimidated by Gryffindor's reputation for bravery, but the Sorting Hat didn't agree. They debated it for so long, that he was close to being what is known as a Hatstall, which is a term for any student whose Sorting takes longer than five minutes.
And this is why Hermione does not fit into Ravenclaw, since she lacks their creativity of thought. When you also add in her fearlessness and her strong convictions about right and wrong, which are inherently Gryffindor traits, then there was even less of a chance she'd end up wearing blue and bronze.
The only quality she shares with Salazar Slytherin is being a dark wizard. Bellatrix actually belongs in Hufflepuff. She is fiercely loyal to Voldemort, standing by his side the entire time. She also waited for his return while stuck in Azkaban with the patience only a Hufflepuff could have.
Harry missed the Sorting in his third year because a Dementor crawled into the trio's compartment on the Hogwarts Express, and the very presence of the Dementor made Harry pass out. Harry was taken to the hospital wing once the train reached Hogwarts.
Harry Potter came very close to being sorted into Slytherin before he persuaded the Hat to sort him into Gryffindor.
In the books, Hermione is actually a hatstall - meaning that The Sorting Hat himself doesn't know which house to put her in, until he finally decides on Gryffindor.
Each house has its own particular personality, and each student gets put into a house by a magical hat called the Sorting Hat. The traits that get you placed into Slytherin are ambition, resourcefulness, determination, and cleverness.
Albus Dumbledore: Gryffindor
Some people show traits from multiple houses, and although Dumbledore is definitely one of those, his passion and courage make him a clear Gryffindor.
Moreover, her being a part of Gryffindor allowed her character arc to develop so well that she ultimately became one of the strongest and bravest witches of the Harry Potter world. It allowed her to understand who she is, and that is someone who has so much more depth than her good scores and book-based intelligence.
If Snape hadn't been in Slytherin, Voldemort would have still risen to power, yes. But Snape might well have been on the good side from the start, and wouldn't have betrayed Trelawney's prediction to Lord Voldemort.
Harry Potter, for instance, embodies many of the traits that are appreciated by Salazar Slytherin. He is clever, resourceful and cunning, yet the Sorting Hat made him a Gryffindor because he didn't feel like he belonged there.
Though Hermione cursed him with 'Petrificus Totalus! ' and they left the common room anyway, Dumbledore recognised the bravery – a trait prized by Godric Gryffindor – Neville had shown in standing up to his friends:'There are all kinds of courage,' said Dumbledore, smiling.
Her real parents were Daneel and Dean Novak, Pureblooded wizards. Turns out Daneel was Tom Riddles younger sister, Daneel Riddle. Of course, the Riddles were related to Salzar Slytherin himself, and this made Hermione the living heir of Slytherin. The problem with being a female Slytherin heir, is that they're cursed.
If Draco had been a Gryffindor, he still would have had parents strongly affiliated with Lord Voldemort and Bellatrix Lestrange as an aunt. Malfoy Manor would've still been a good base for Voldemort. Dumbledore would remain a major threat and Malfoy would have been in a good position to get close to him at school.
Albus Severus is the main character in "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child." He's the ugly duckling of the family, is sorted into Slytherin, befriends Scorpius Malfoy, and isn't good at magic. He's nicknamed "Albus Potter, the Slytherin Squib." Albus and his father have a tense relationship.
Harry would have been internally conflicted if he had been Sorted into Slytherin. Although he still would have felt that Hogwarts was the only place he had ever belonged, he might have felt wary forming relationships with the children of Death Eaters.
While the sorting hat will appear in Hogwarts Legacy, you will be the one deciding the house you'll be sent to. So all you have to do is select your preferred house once the choice presents itself.
However, they break up because Harry initially believed she betrayed the DA for Umbridge. When it was revealed Cho revealed this information unwillingly by Severus Snape, Harry looked remorseful for his treatment of her earlier. Like in the book, Harry and Cho remain friends rather than getting back together.
Draco's refusal to reveal Harry's identity to Bellatrix was not because he liked him. It was because he believed that Harry was the only chance they had at defeating Voldemort. At first, Draco admired and revered Voldemort until he threatened his family's safety.
"The Lestranges should be here," said Voldemort quietly. In short Lord Voldemort was the sperm donor for the Lestranges as Bella's husband Rodolphus Lestrange was firing blanks. Hence why they had no child so Lord Voldemort said he would father a child with Bellatrix to help out his best deatheater friends.
Peter Pettigrew, (a.k.a. Wormtail), is the only Death Eater known to have been in a House other than Slytherin (Gryffindor) while at Hogwarts. There, he was a close friend of Sirius Black, James Potter, and Remus Lupin, although he was the least intelligent and least talented of the group.
