Re: Händel, I first learned about it in a very amusing audio version of a play, „Mögliche Begegnung der Herren Bach und Händel“, about a fictional meeting between Bach and Händel.

Yups. Wait, we didn't sort Lehndorff! Obvious Hufflepuff is obvious?

Agreed, with the slight caveat that I‘d also buy Lehndorff as an unassuming Ravenclaw. He‘s not supersmart, and can be quite clueless emotionally, but his fondness for books and theatre seems to be a life long thing rather than something he only picked up as a young man wanting to advance at the court of a „philosopher thing“, and as opposed to people who shall remain Fritz and Heinrich, he‘s at least ready to watch occasionally plays in German and read German books now and then, even if he remains imprinted on French culture - he has an open, curious mind when it comes to the arts. What‘s more, he’s truly interested in people and curious about other countries. (Interested in history, too, see him reading about the Stuarts as a young man and going „WTF was going on with that family?“ or later in life making all those Liselotte letter excerpts in his notebook.) And if he‘s reading Rousseau‘s Confessions while being shaken by a 18th century carriage, he‘s able to focus to an admirable degree.
