I know they’re default sorting questions, but explain to me, really explain to me, how they’ll help?

Well, they'll help because I have no idea where to place you, and I would like an accurate representation of who you are. I meant canon as in the books, not the movies. Based on the characters you like (and WHY you like them) it shows what you enjoy in people, in life, or at the very least what you are entertained by.

As for the last question, you don't need to tell me your original thoughts on them, you can tell me what you think now, with all that outside stuff thrown in. That works fine.

If you really don't want to answer those questions, I'll ask you some different ones.

Is it more important to you to be a good person or to be successful?

Do you admire those who've become successful in life more if they became that way through intelligence, or do you admire them more if they became successful from hard work?

"There is no good and evil, but only power, and those too weak to seek it." (paraphrasing here...) tell me your thoughts on that quote.

Which house do you *want* to be in, or is the answer "any but Gryffindor?"
