Why one belongs in Gryffindor

     There's been some posting as of late as to why some people are in Gryffindor, since we haven't seen them display the courage or bravery neccesary to be chosen for the Gryffindor House. But why can't they all just have the potential for great courage or bravery? There are some people who are just a little more cowardly... perhaps these people aren't extraordinarly brave, but they're not cowardly, either, they are strong, and that is why they're chosen for Gryffindor. If everyone was doing brave things all the time, would there be enough story left to tell? Heh. Perhaps there have been things in the past that required these people to have great courage, and of course we don't know about them. I would argue that Dean, Hermione, Colin and Dennis are brave just for stepping out of a world they've known for 11 years and jumping into one they knew nothing about!
