Sorting is the best thing to do when you can't sleep or find yourself in a long line or in a waiting room without iPod or paper. :D Inara's the only Firefly character I really can't place -- well, her and Book; I can't tell if he's a Gryffindor or a Hufflepuff. Zoe is a Gryffindor and Wash is probably a Hufflepuff. The problem with Buffy is that nearly everyone seems to turn out Gryffindor. Very irritating of them. Willow has definite Gryffindor-ness, but I stick her in Ravenclaw because somebody needs to be not-in-Gryffindor. Angel, you're right, is a difficult one. Angelus certainly fits the Slytherin bill -- I would assume most vampires do, as their primary goal seems to be their own pleasure, safety, and entertainment, and most of them seem quite ambitious in one way or another -- but I'm not really seeing the Slytherin in Angel. He's much more self-sacrificing (and, okay, self-flagellating) than ambitious, and while he's intelligent and resourceful, I wouldn't describe him as cunning. (Nice word, that. I should use it more often.)

Hee! Yes indeed that'd be a fun crossover, although it'd be difficult to make it into an actual crossover as such, since the time-lines not matching up quite right would make it difficult to have any actual Buffy characters in other than Ethan or some Ethan-like bloke. (Though I suppose someone could always dress up as Four, since he's the Pop Culture Reference Doctor, so to speak.) ...Actually, pretty much anything involving the Doctor playing around in another fandom is slated for awesomeness potential. *nods*

even though I didn't exactly like the whole "women any further back than maybe 30 years ago were total wimps" idea

To be fair, wimpiness was bred into and expected of (wealthier) women of the eighteenth century. :p And pre-vampire Angel, as you may or may not know from your cheating ways, was not exactly the sort of bloke who the more intelligent women would generally come into prolonged contact with.
