But they like to be admired. (g) And if they're NOT, they can get ... petulant.
...Also true. If silently. Silent fuming and holding back resentment? I'm very good at that. =P Not proud, mind you, but very good. My roommate and I get along very well, because we both do this and can recognize it in the other.
Absolutely. Leos are nothing if not masters of passive aggressive behavior. LOL! Well, at least in that. Most of them know they really SHOULDN'T be so touchy ... but they are. (wide grin) Putting a positive spin on it, I tend to see this really as a matter of giving and receiving love. Leos tend to be affectionate by nature, especially sun-sign Leos. Not necessarily demonstrative ... but not uncommonly that, too. They're a fire sign. That's PART of why they like to acknowledge the help and assistance of others when they do well/win/whatever. They tend to be very aware of the devotion of others -- and will give it back in equal measure. So if they DON'T receive it, that hurts.
Leo isn't really after fame, not for itself. (That's Capricorn.) Leo is after love and attention/devotion. It's entirely possible for a Leo to be content with the love and devotion of her/his family alone. For instance, the stay-at-home mom who's adored by her husband and children, and thanked for what she does ... that's a happy Leo. And that's why I think it perfectly possible for a Leo to be a good Hufflepuff. (I actually have a much harder time seeing a Capricorn Hufflepuff, or -- especially -- Aquarius. Aquarius seems to me to be the quintessential Ravenclaw.)
There is no sadder thing than a lonely, unappreciated and ignored Leo. The arena of the appreciation is less important than having it. ;>
