It says several times that the other Griffidor boys in Harrys class are 
Neville, Seamus, Dean, and Ron.  Maybe Hogwarts is set up so that Slytherin 
and Griffindor are the hardest to get into, and Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw 
have more students...

In CoS though, when Griffidore 2nd years have Herbology with the 
Hufflepuffs, there are about 20 pairs of earmuffs meaning that there are 
about 20 student with the two groups combined.  the 5 griffindor boys, plus 
the 3 girls that we know about (Lavender Brown, Parvati Patil, and Hermione) 
equals 7, leaving Hufflepuff with about 12 students in that grade.(prof. 
Sprout needs earmuffs too.)

I guess that could work, but it leaves ravenclaw having a lot of people in 
Harry's grade...
