Surely he doesn't belong in ravenclaw or slytherin. the closest other 
match is Hufflepuff. But from Dumbledore's swearing up and down that 
he would trust Hagrid with his life, there is something in the past 
that Hagrid has done that will eventually cement his bravery for us 
beyond the smallest sliver of doubt. Plus, he has to be brave, 
dealing with all those monsters all the time (not the ones he likes, 
I mean running around the forbidden forest trying to track down 
something evil that's killing a unicorn). Plus, he braved Azkaban. 
And, remember him running into D's office, dead rooster in his hand 
and all in CoS, to scream that it couldn't have been Harry who 
petrified NHNick and JFFletchley? When the walls close in, Hagrid 
seems to be more like a gryffindor than anyone else.
