Not my house (I'm a Ravenclaw according to Pottermore), but I think I can do this.

1. Millicent Bulstrode (this one I had to check, and after flipping through the pages of the first book I now want to read all of them again)
2. Salazar Slytherin (ofc), Horace Slughorn, Severus Snape (pretty nifty that they all have S-names)
3. Draco Malfoy (by Barty Crouch Jr disguised as Alastor Moody)
4. At first, the chamber was accessed through a concealed trapdoor and multiple magical tunnels, but later when indoor plumbing was built they hid the entrance in an elaborate sink in one of the girl's bathrooms (Moaning Myrtle's bathroom, thihi, I love her!) and it was then accessible only to Parselmouths.
5. The Bloody Baron

Aweee, you did great!! And I know what you mean, I want to reread the books as well, they're still magical even if I read them for the 16345328th time (joking, probably the 6th time, though). ^_^

Let's try with Ravenclaw this time:

1. Who is the ghost of the Ravenclaw house and what is its story?
2. What item that belonged to Rowena Ravenclaw did Voldemort turn into a Horcrux?
3. Can you name 5 characters from the HP universe sorted into Ravenclaw?
4. Where is the Ravenclaw's common room located?
5. Who is the Head of the Ravenclaw House during Harry's school years?

1. The Ravenclaw ghost is none other than Helena Ravenclaw, daughter of the founder Rowena Ravenclaw. In an effort to be better and cleverer than her mother, she stole her mother's diadem and ran away. Rowena kept the theft a secret until she was on her death bed, and she then sent the Bloody Baron to bring Helena back to her so that she could see her daughter (and the diadem) one last time. Helena refused to return with the Baron, who happened to be in love with her, and he apparently had major anger issues and couldn't handle rejection, so he killed her in a rage. Afterward, he committed suicide out of guilt, and they were not so happily reunited as ghosts at Hogwarts.
2. That would be that damn diadem, ofc. ;)
3. Luna Lovegood (who I adore), Padma Patil (I remember there was a big fuss about that because her twin sister was in Gryffindor), Cho Chang (sorry to say I never really liked her), Gilderoy Lockhart and last but not least (Moaning) Myrtle Warren. :D
4. The Ravenclaw common room is in the Ravenclaw tower, in the west part of Hogwarts. To enter you have to answer a riddle, and if I remember correctly there's a new riddle each time you want to enter, and if you can't answer you have to wait for another student who can.
5. Filius Flitwick :)

Are you on Pottermore? :)

I never knew Lockhart was a claw! Wow!
All your answers are correct! Great job! :D

Also, yes, I do have a Pottermore account but lost interest in the website when it became less interactive. 
I regret not spending more time in the interactive maps a few years ago.

Yeah, can't say I'm there much anymore, but I still love the site. What house were you sorted into?
I'm a bit amused that even though I'm a Ravenclaw, my Patronus is a rattlesnake. :)

I'm definitely going to read Harry Potter again when I'm done with A Song of Ice and Fire (the Game of Throne-books). I really love how the Harry Potter series is set to this world, and not some fictional universe.

I've been sorted into Slytherin (in 2010) and Ravenclaw (in 2016) on different accounts. That makes me think because, clearly, I've changed since I was first sorted and it made me wonder if the sorting isn't done prematurely at Hogwarts, as well, giving "labels" too soon. I've also looked up other sorting quizzes on Google and found a few which contain all the questions from Pottermore (as they used to ask you only a few of the questions, randomly, when they sort you there) and they give you a breakdown of what % you have in common with each house. If you're interested to see that I can send you a link to a quiz which is pretty accurate.

My patronus is a mole... needles to say that, even though they are cute, I was quite disappointed.
Rattlesnake sounds badass!

I haven't read or watched GoT, the story never appealed to me.
The Harry Potter series seemed more relatable and I enjoy the fact that it's strongly connected to our world, as well. :D

I've never really thought about that, but I think you're right! People do change, and by year seven the Hogwarts students are no longer the same as they were in year one, shaped both by age and whatever horrors have happened to them. The sorting hat is ofc more advanced than any (muggle) test could ever be, and is able to somewhat predict parts of the future, and I remember that a lot of the other students were puzzled to see Hermione sorted into Gryffindor, because she held so many of the typical Ravenclaw qualities, and then as the story proceeds, she proves her Gryffindor worth by bravery and breaking some rules.

Percentage of the different houses is definitely logical, and I think most of the students would fit into more than one house, which makes sense since the houses are made in the founder's spirit, but nobody but the founder himself could ever hold all the founder's qualities and nothing else. For instance: Neville Longbottom seems somewhat misplaced in Gryffindor too, he's skilled in herbology and could very easily fit into Hufflepuff, and would probably at least initially have been happier there, but like Hermione, he shows his true colors later in the story. Cedric Diggory is a Hufflepuff, but he's best known for being very clever, which is supposed to be a Ravenclaw quality, but in the end, his Hufflepuffness shows itself, and I think this just goes on and on. The sorting hat did after all want to put Harry in Slytherin, and I don't think it was because of his accidentally gained Voldemort parts, but rather his own abilities and pride.

Moles are adorable! I always picture them cartoonish with glasses and a book, and I'm nearsighted, so I would've loved that! :D

Up until now all tests I have taken have put me in Ravenclaw (mostly because I'm weird and antisocial I think, but possibly also because I do read a lot), but I love this kind of tests, so yes please send the link! :D

I do agree that the Sorting Hat is more advanced than muggle quizzes and that characters tend to show their true colors later on during the story. In this case, would the quizzes show us only a "piece" of what we are or show us as undeveloped "characters"  when we first take them?

As for Cedric showing Hufflepuffness - are you referring to the part where they shared the "win" at the end of the Tournament or that he got lucky with the egg in the bathroom, something I could only imagine happening to a Puff? :))) Because to me, he seemed misplaced throughout the whole book, since he was brave, witty and curious most of the time. 

Moles are, indeed, adorable, but they don't necessarily come off as "guardians". My bf got "field mouse" as a patronus so I'm luckier lol
I wear glasses too & I'm the type of person who prefers quiet places and being mostly alone, but I would have preferred a cat. ^_^
