It was 'draw on the strengths associated with each of the houses 
defining characteristics and guard against the weaknesses associated 
with those strenghts'. 

I think there is a hint in Canon that something like this is coming - 
in Dumbledore's speech at the end of GoF he making it clear to all 
Beauxbatons and Durmstrang people that they could find help and 
support at Hogwarts if they oppose the dark side. 

If diverse outsiders can come in to the team why not different groups 
within Hogwarts?
