Hagrid was in Gryffindor, according to JKR in an interview. If you 
need to check out that kind of factual information, I heartily 
suggest that you look it up in the Lexicon. It's there, along with 
the reference. I'm about to head out the door to take my wife out 
for lunch, so I don't have time to go look it up for you, but it's 
simple to find.
