Hi Mungo,
The point of the Venn Diagram is that it shows amino acids to have multiple properties. Threonine sits in the middle of the diagram and has the properties: Polar, Hydrophobic, Small. Simple classifications like the one you link to do not capture the fact that amino acids exhibit multiple physico-chemical properties. Rob Russell developed the definitive online resource for amino acid properties: See http://www.russelllab.org/aas/ Geoff.

Jalview code, and other reference sources, say it is hydrophilic. e.g. http://p53.iarc.fr/AAProperties.aspx Does the diagram need an update?
