Sherlock seems to me very concerned about Sherlock. He helps because he wants the notoriety. He likes being the 'best' and the 'only' xxxx and takes on cases that no one else would because when he solves the puzzle, he is just that much better than everyone else. He's an academic, but only because it's a means to an end, and showing one up on Mycroft makes him gleeful. He likes that the police force is crippled without him and that he always has the answer first because he can preen and feel superior. And, he doesn't truly explain things in terms people can follow--sure he explains things, but does anyone connect it all completely? I think that's on purpose. Manipulate the competition and ensure they can't beat you. He's underhanded and cunning. Def Slytherin.
For John: I think he does the right thing but because he had to be pushed into excitement and wouldn't do it without Sherlock, I think he's a Hufflepuff.
