In my opinion I think that you did a pretty good job with this and it appears that you did a fair about of research to back up your ideas. I can't say that I agree entirely with some of the reasons but they are sound and I have much respect for that but I think the reason why so many people place some of these characters in the houses that they do is because they want to keep a balance.

With four characters and four houses or in the Bending AU the four elements, almost everyone wants to maintain some sort of balance between the four characters and the four categories given. This can be part of the reason why there has been some conflict when trying to place the characters into these categories because they don't want any of the characters to overlap and they perfer that they stick to their most extreme personality traits to show the diversity they have between one another.
