These are certainly interesting house choices. I don't think I've seen Rapunzel in Slytherin before but she really doesn't fit there. She may be ambitious but she's not cunning, nor does she seem to have traditionalism, or self-preservation. The other traits are arguable. Though it's not really just about traits. Rapunzel does not have the Slytherin mentality as you mentioned above. That's just not her. She also doesn't really have the Slytherin values. I just can't see her in that house. Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff, maybe even Gryffindor, would be a better fit for her.

As far as Hiccup, I could see him fitting into any house but Hufflepuff. Slytherin is rather unlikely too. In the beginning he was rather selfish I suppose, with a thirst to prove himself, to be appreciated. He wanted glory. Hiccup definitely displayed more Slytherin qualities in the beginning. But by the end? Certainly not. And after all, it doesn't matter what you are born only what you grow up to be. Taking HTTYD 2 Hiccup into consideration, he's probably more of a Ravenclaw by that point. He's still impulsive and he's still brave but he relies on his intelligence. His belief that he truly can change people with just a few words. But he's reluctant to be in a position of power, and I think that by the second movie we can rule out Slytherin completely. Definitely Ravenclaw or Gryffindor for him.

Jack is a much harder one. I see him most often placed in Slytherin but I honestly don't think he'd be there. He's a Slytherin by situation, not by heart. At the beginning of the movie he is reckless and selfish and couldn't care less about anybody else. That's because for three hundred years he's only had himself to look after. He didn't care about anyone else because he wasn't able to. By the end he is most definitely a Gryffindor.

Merida is also pretty tricky. She's commonly put in Gryffindor for the sole fact that she's brave. The sorting hat goes far beyond that. She lacks Slytherin traits, has the Slytherin mentality, but overall has Gryffindor values. I think she'd be a hat stall. Most likely she would pick Gryffindor.

That's just my two cents.

This has probably been incredibly long but I just have a lot of feelings on this topic.
