I've been wondering about this for a while, myself.

In reading COS again, (for the umpteenth time), it hit me that 
perhaps the houses aren't the same size.  I've always assumed that 
Gryffindor had 1/4th the students of each class. It could be that the 
bulk of the student population is in Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, with a 
small segment for Gryffindor and Slytherin.

It makes me think of a parabolic curve, with the rarer personality 
types in Gryffindor and Slytherin.
