If voldy was so smart,when he took over the ministry,why did he simply take a time turner and go back to any part in time and kill harry???Also,the sorting hat seemed a little off to me.Snape was as brave as James was,and james really seemed more crueler,almost like draco.Why didn't james go to slytherin and snape go to griffyndore for being brave and standing up to james?Also,they were fighting for diversity,but it seemed like everyone married a pureblood.When Ron says that they have a cousin who is an accountant but do not talk about him much seemes almost like they are ashamed of him.

First, we've been told that the attack on the Dept. of Mysteries destroyed all the Time-Turners. Even if he could get one, what good would that do? We find out that by reconstructing his body with Harry's blood, Voldemort has tethered Harry to him and Harry cannot be killed while Voldemort lives (7th book King's Cross station chapter).
The sorting Hat sorts by what characteristic is strongest in a person. Remember the traits being looked for are Bravery, Ambition, Intelligence/Love of learning, Industriousness. Something like cruelty is not restricted to any one house. No one can say that Snape was not cruel, and as for James, remember kids can be very cruel to one another.
That is not true; Andromeda Black marries a Muggle-born, as does James Potter. Tonks is a Halfblood, and we don't know Lupin's status. Ginny marries a Halfblood and Ron marries a Muggle-born.
I'm not sure how much you can take from Ron's statement; he's 11 and maybe that cousin hasn't been mentioned--very possibly because that cousin might be a Squib. I don't think much can be made from that.

Snape was not that good I mean he was on the side of Voldemort UNTIL he heard he was after Lily then he switched sides AND James was against Voldemort for wanting to murder people
Doesn't that say it all of their Character.
Besides I always saw it this way- James like Lily and he picked on Snape because he liked Lily- at first it was because he wanted Lily for himself & then I believe he knew Snape liked Lily so he found every chance he could to mistreat him. That is cruel yes and not very uncommon among men

good questions!!
1) just because voldy was smart doesn't mean he knows everything...sometimes we forget....we should have done this cause it's takes less effort but we didn't think of it then....you get what i mean??
2) snape was brave but i guess he just belonged in slytherin...the sorting hat doesn't look on one personality it looks on the whole mind as a whole...or that's what i think
3) i have no idea..but ron married hermoine who's muggleborn....
i guess we can only wonder...if only we could ask JK Rowling...

Good questions, though I think the only person who can answer them is JK Rowling herself. You have a good point of view there though. Sorry if this wasn't much help, but your question was interesting.
