The sorting Hat?? Accurate or not?

If you noticed, it seems that the same number of kids go into the 
four houses every year. Does the sorting hat have a requirement to 
put a certain number of kids in each house each year. Is that why 
Neville Longbottom is in Gryffindor?? He doesn't really seem to have 
the bravery that Godric Gryffidor honored. He stood up to his friends 
in HP&SS(#1)at the end right before Harry, Ron, and Hermione go to 
stop the socerer's stone from being stolen. If he is brave enough to 
be in Gryffindor then maybe he will show that in later books. That 
could be a hint. It just seems that 5 boys and 5 girls go into each 
house every year and there is no way you can guarantee that you are 
going to have that exact number of kids with the right qualities. 
What happens if you have 30 kids that fit Gryffidor's standards and 2 
that fit somewhere else. What would they do??
