With most people it was possible to spot something in their personality that explained their house assignment, but with Miss Daphnel she was rather struggling- although she wasn't sure if the acquaintance of less than an hour was really enough time to make someone's entire personality - indeed she was certain it wasn't.

'It Is a mistake to trifle with us! she met Victor's gaze. 'Is that right Mister Daphnel?' she added, addressing Jasper as her confederate in the joke.
