Crabe and Goyle are not cunning and if they are ambitious, they must
think that attaching themselves to Draco will get them what they want,
so why would Lockhart have to be cunning to be a Slytherin?  I think
people take stereotyping 'houses' a bit too far.  I mean, far as we
know, Peter was a Gryffindor and we all know what he is like.  Being as
there are only 4 houses, you can't neatly fit each any every person into
one of the 4 molds. There are bound to be those who have none of the
qualities for any house that the hat just randomly tosses them into a
house and hopes for the best.
