My list of 5 green items:
All from US hardback

1. Comparing Harry to the Dursleys "Harry, on the other hand, was small and skinny, with brilliant green eyes and jet-black hair that was always untidy." CoS 4

2. Description of the Weasley's garden "The Dursley wouldn't have liked it - there were plenty of weeds, and the grass needed cutting - but there were gnarled trees all around the walls, plants Harry had never seen spilling from every flower bed, and a big green pond full of frogs." CoS 36

3.Using Floo powder "It felt as though he was being sucked down a giant drain. He seemed to be spinning very fast - the roaring in his ears was deafening - he tried to kkep his eyes open but hte whirl of green flames made him feel sick - something hard knocked his elbow and he tucked it in tightly, still spinning and spinning - now it felt as though cold hadns were slapping his face - squinting through his glasses he saw a blurred stream of fireplaces and snatched glimpses of the rooms beyond - his bacon sandwiches were churning inside of him - he closed his eyes again wishing it would stop, and then -" CoS 49

4. During the Dueling club "A haze of greenish smoke was hovering over the scene." CoS 192

5. And finally there is the Cornelius Fudge description "The stranger had rumpled gray hair and an anxious expression, and was wearing a strange mixture of clothes, a scarlet tie, a long black cloak, and pointed purple boots. Under his arm he carried a lime-green bowler." CoS 261

My points go to Gryffindor. I think the Sorting Hat confused stubbornness with bravery, but who am I to argue?
