Butt-Monkey: Hufflepuff is definitely the most maligned and mocked house in the fandom as well as canon. 
The Big Guy: After Gryffindor, Hufflepuff contributed the most student combatants to the Battle of Hogwarts. until the school is attacked in the final battle and all but the youngest and Zacharias Smith take up their wands and fight without hesitation. Beware the Nice Ones: They spend the whole series just hanging out and being generally inoffensive. however, both Hufflepuffs and badgers can be downright vicious if you do anything to hurt their loved ones. Bad Ol' Badger: Double subverted-badgers are the house's mascot and this partially does symbolize Hufflepuff's friendliness. Animal Motifs: Badgers are adorable, unassuming, and will rip your face off if you threaten something they care about, which sums the House up quite neatly. Of course, many people take it to mean that Hufflepuff is just a dumping ground for students none of the other Founders would deem "worthy". And the Rest: Although usually said to be chosen for loyalty and hard work, one of the Sorting Hat songs describes Helga Hufflepuff as "tak all the rest, and treat them all the same," demonstrating the most frequently mentioned defining traits of the House fairness and equality. Always Second Best: They are aware of Hufflepuff's reputation as an overshadowed house and they hoped the Tri-Wizard tournament would be their time to outshine Gryffindor. They are defined by their loyalty and integrity and have produced the least amount of Dark Wizards/Witches of all the Hogwarts houses. 
Always Lawful Good: While Gryffindor House is the "hero" house, Hufflepuff House is a more literal example of this trope, being the most consistently lawful and good of the houses.
