Whoa, that's some pretty awful typing there.
Then explain it if you think you're so smart.

Here's what I think. Some characters are so hard to type, mainly because we just don't know enough about them. I've only properly typed the ones I'm pretty sure about. How anyone can even think of typing James or Lily Potter, I don't know
As for Bellatrix, I'd hazard a guess at IxFJ. But that really is a guess!
Harry - INFP
Ron - ISFP
Hermione - ISTJ
Dumbledore - INFJ
Snape - INTJ
Hagrid - ISFJ
Sirius - ENTP
Lupin - INFP
Tonks - ExTP
Voldemort - INTJ
Draco - IxTJ
Luna - xNFP
Neville - ISFP
I bumped the HP thread on the Enneagram forum earlier and thought I'd add some of my MBTI guesses here:
Harry: ISFP. Definition of Fi/Se.
Ron: ESFP. Pretty obvious.
Hermione: ISTJ.
Dumbledore: He seems almost stereotypically INFJ in most of the books, but I don't know if most INFJs would have masterminded the plan with Harry the way he did.
Lupin: INFP. INFJ is the only other viable option and he's way more Fi than Ni.
Sirius: ENFP. I think he's usually typed as an ENTP, which I used to agree with, but I think he's a little too mercurial for that.
Umbridge: Caricature of an ESTJ.
Snape: He seems like a caricature of an INTJ, although I think most INTJs would consider themselves too practical to get so completely caught up in unrequited love. Then again, I don't know how realistic the Snape/Lily scenario is PERIOD (not that I necessarily dislike it, just that it's a doubtful "real world" scenario and thus sort of untypeable)
Not sure about the Malfoys. And how are people even typing Bellatrix? She doesn't exhibit any personality traits other than being completely servile and infatuated with Voldemort. Some of the Weasleys who aren't Ron seem to correspond to some MBTI archetypes, like Fred/George as ENTPs and Molly as a ESFJ.
I think it's interesting how the main trio are all sensors but the main supporting cast seems to be pretty much all Ns.
What do you guys think about Tonks and Luna?
The fact that Snape harbored his love for Lily for such a long period of time does not make me believe it is unlikely he is an INTJ. I can definitely see an "unhealthy" INTJ acting as he did. Though they are practical about such matters on many occasions, love is a funny thing, and as Lily was Snape's one and only, she was difficult to forget. He got hung up on her because she was the only girl to ever even give him the time of day. There was no one else for him. That, and since it is possible he was a 4w5 (enneagram)..
Harry: ISFP 6w7 sx/so
Noooooo!
Harry is a 1w9 Sx/Sp, fool! (facepalm)
he's the same type and subtype as Light Yagami?
I don't see either Sx or So in him, but I think he's sx/so because of his complete lack of any kind of self preserving behavior. he basically just charges blindly into situations that almost get him killed. this sounds more like your stereotypical sx/so martyr
Light is not Sx/Sp. He's Sp-dom.
Traduction: you don't see either Sx or So in him but you type him as Sx/So based on pure cliché about that stacking. Sx/So are everything but martyr, and when a few are, they are badass like Jacques Mesrine, or Tupac Shakur, nothing to do with that bland, insipid and annoying kid of Harry Potter.
He's not Sp-last, he's very quiet and protective.

I don't have an issue with Snape being classed as INTJ, but I'm having a big issue with Dumbledore as INFJ based on the last two movies/books. INFJ males are not cavalier, INTP males are... and that's what Dumbledore reveals (along with all the Ti machinations and the Ne style hints at what MIGHT happen... since Ni tends to see things as already happening, while Ne is seeing a host of possibilities and assigning them probabilities if directed by Ti). His entire last meeting with Harry in Book #7 is all about (1) good-natured warmth but not really formalized like an Fe secondary would be, it's effusive and child-like, (2) explaining with delight the truth behind everything and how it fit together as he had hoped but he wasn't really sure if it would ever happen [I consider this a hallmark of the sociable INTP, I've seen this behavior over and over], (3) providing autonomy to Harry rather than moralizing (he seems to have no care about whether Harry goes back or not, it's totally a matter of whatever Harry wants to do, and Dumbledore really has no pressure on him). INFJ really does actually have moralistic stances on that sort of thing.
Anyway, I see Dumbledore's behavior in Half-Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows modelled naturally by my INTP male friends, but my male INFJ friends just look different behaviorally.
DISCLAIMER: The members I matched with the respective characters have no relation to their type.
But yeah, Professor Dumbledore is an INTP (maybe even ENTP), and Snape is INTP as well (final answer). Hermione, I've decided is an INTJ (she's much more a knowledge seeker than a security seeker, not to mention she's quite abstract).
I finally get to be something cool!
