I think you got confused by the name.   Note that the mascot of 
Griffindor is the Lion, and not a Griffin (which has the head of an 
eagle and the body of a lion).   

But it still makes sense:  Griffindor is known for bravery, as the 
lion.  While a Raven is a bird like an Eagle and usually "soars" 
(reference to intellectual persuits).  Though both are also 
scavengers, so I don't know how that'd fit.
