If you'd looked Hagrid up in the Lexicon, you would have discovered 
an entire page about him:
http://www.i2k.com/~svderark/lexicon/hagrid.html

On that page, you will find this mention of his house:
House: Gryffindor (BN)

That (BN) is the reference to where that fact is found. In this 
case, it refers to the Barnes and Noble interview from October of 
2000. More information about that source and the other sources for 
Lexicon information can be found here:
http://www.i2k.com/~svderark/lexicon/site_sources.html
There is a link there to a transcript of the interview.

Generally speaking, if you find a detail in the Lexicon which you 
wonder about, look for the reference. Everything in the Lexicon is 
from either the books or from interviews with the author, so if it's 
in there, you be pretty confident that it's correct. Of course, 
errors do creep in here and there and I am constantly editing and 
expanding, but basically, if it's in the Lexicon, it's canon.
