Maybe the hat puts the people in the house they want to be in (like 
he did with Harry) and not so much because of the abilities and 
character. That could explain Peter in Gryffindor. Or as Iris said 
Sirius placement in Gryffindor, but also Percy, Neville, and lots of 
Slytherins. I believe that could also be the reason why lots of 
siblings end up in the same house they 'want' to be there. It would 
be interesting what is more important for the hat the abilities or 
the wish of the student. I believe the later, because there are lots 
of people whoes most obvious ability would put them into a house they 
are not in. Like Neville in Hufflepuff, Hermione in Ravenclaw, Percy 
maybe Revenclaw or Slytherin,...
