And I do think that discussing canon on boards and things like that is probably a great way to learn to read critically.
I think that's the best part of fanon. Reading is all nice, but it's the discussions that make this so enjoyable. I love discussions, and that's actually the way I learn best. It's really sad that there's so little discussion at schools, at least in Finland, which is probably mainly because of the big classes.
before Harry got to the school they appeared to be dominant in terms of winning Quidditch and the house cup
Yes, and before that it was presumably the Gryffindors, what with Charlie Weasley as a Seeker (and I now ignore Rowling's blunder). It really seems that those two Houses fight for the dominance, and that's why I believe that if Hogwarts is to be united, those two Houses will have to play the main part in it. If Gryffindor and Slytherin can achieve a truce, the other Houses will probably follow suit.
