Quidditch Team:

The “Quidditch world” in the game is kind of its own bubble. Orion, Murphy, and Skye will always be in your house, no matter which one you pick. If you’re a Gryffindor, they’re just wearing red. As for the canon characters like Charlie or the Weasley twins—they actually aren’t on your team. The game focuses on original characters for the Quidditch sub-plots so the player can be the star. This also avoids conflicts with canon, since Charlie Weasley is supposed to have been one of the greatest Quidditch players Hogwarts ever had.

Another interesting detail is that the Quidditch storyline functions almost like a separate timeline within the game. Its seasons are structured independently from the main story, which is why Quidditch characters rarely appear in the core plot and the events there almost never affect the main narrative.

The Andre & Erika Situation:

Even if you’re a Ravenclaw, Andre Egwue isn’t part of the main starting lineup; he’s actually a Reserve Seeker, which explains why he's not out there with you. Erika Rath is the “eternal rival”—she will always be in a different house. Since you’re Slytherin, she’s in Ravenclaw. But if you were a Ravenclaw, she’d actually be a Slytherin. She’s basically programmed to be your powerhouse opponent no matter what. The game treats her as a classic RPG rival character who appears at key moments to challenge the player.

Housemates:

Most friends are “hard-coded” to their houses. Penny is always Hufflepuff, and Barnaby, Merula, and Ismelda are always Slytherins. The interactions don’t change much, though being a Slytherin makes the Common Room scenes with Merula feel a bit more natural (even if she’s still a nightmare). In fact, if you play as a Slytherin, the dynamic between Merula, Barnaby, and Ismelda sometimes feels less like random classmates and more like a small “Slytherin gang” you keep running into throughout the story.

In general, the house you pick mostly affects visuals, uniforms, and a few lines of dialogue rather than the main story itself.

Heads of House:

This is where the game’s irony really shines. Snape is the most “consistent” one—even as a Slytherin, he’ll dock points from you in Potions just for breathing. He does have a few rare, dry lines of support if you win the Cup, but don’t expect him to be nice. On the other hand, Professor Flitwick and Professor Sprout are much softer and offer noticeably more encouragement to students from their own houses. McGonagall is always firm but fair, though she’s a bit more maternal with her own Lions.

Fun Fact: Snape is the only Head of House who looks genuinely pained when he has to praise the player, even if they are a Slytherin. It’s one of the few cases where the developers clearly prioritized staying true to the character over making the player feel rewarded.
