Can't help you.  I'm curious to see what turns up.

I'm inclined to think the Sorting Hat does live in the Headmaster's 
office.  But Fawkes belongs to Dumbledore, and he did tell Harry in 
so many words that Harry must have exhibited "great courage and 
loyalty to me"  to have summoned Fawkes to his side, let alone to 
have been able to produce Godric Gryffindor's sword.

I think if it's not incontrovertible proof, there's definitely a 
goodly bit of stuff that could lead one to believe that Dumbledore's 
Gryffindor.
