I thought about it before and this is the reason I have. I think it came up
on the list and even in the books that the hat doesn't only look at people's
attributes but also at their choices. Harry *chose* not to be in Slytherin.
Hermione in the end of PS/SS told Harry that "bravery and courage" are more
important than "books and cleverness". She values the Gryffindor attributes
more than she values the Ravenclaw ones. I believe that's the reason she's
in Gryffindor.
