[Harry Potter] What if a Student possessed none of the qualities of the Founders of the Four Houses. How would the Sorting Hat sort the student?

Let's say he is basically Gullible, altruistic, a coward, lazy yet academically gifted but also manages to flunk all every exam and every other quality that doesn't belong in the four houses.

In at least one of the Sorting Hat songs, the Hat mentions that Hufflepuff was willing to take whoever, and teach them all the same.

Hufflepuff is probably the "default" house, or more charitably the house for people who are cool with the idea of being in a default house. The person you described sounds like they would be cool with that, and Hufflepuff also seems like the house for altruistic types.

But realistically, the Hat would probably look for what you want, what you have the potential to become, and what you value.
