Alys a Ravenclaw, huh? I can sort of see that, from her work as a social spymaster, but at the same time I'm inclined to think she's more of a dynastic Slytherin. She's certainly worked for power and control her whole life. I agree that Illyan's probably a Ravenclaw, although there's a Hufflepuff streak in there somewhere, cf. his relationships with Aral and Alys. Aral Vorkosigan's Badger? Well, possibly not.
You're probably right about Gregor being shunted into Slytherin regardless of preference, though one likes to think the hat is more objective than that. Or maybe Gregor would quietly argue with it until it put him in Hufflepuff, and Cordelia and Aral would breathe a sigh of relief, and Gregor would note it and add it to a private mental file of all the other times that Cordelia and Aral have watched his emerging character for signs of something he barely understands. Poor kid.
Man, Cordelia is turning out to be way more difficult to sort than I thought she would be when I first started out; even as I was thinking about how fun she is as a Slytherin, I started wanting to put her in Gryffindor instead, and highlight her resemblance to Miles in general derring-do. Hm.
