I searched the archives, but didn't much of anything that would help 
me answer this: why are Lavender and Parvati in Gryffindor??
 
I've been wondering this a lot lately, actually, and haven't 
really come up with anything.  I believe that they're there for a 
reason, and that their personalities ("like, omigod!") may just be a 
smokescreen on JKR's part.
 
Is there anything in canon that would confirm that they are 
actually in the right house? I haven't see any myself.

Right now, I can think only of one scene that indicates, why 
Lavender is in Gryffindor. It's when Hagrid taught his class Blast 
Ended Skrewts and they escaped. Most of the class ran away to hide 
from the beasts, but Lavender helped trying to catch them. There is 
also that scene, when Parvati defends Neville after the flying 
lesson. But I don't think, that's really brave. It was nice, but not 
especially brave.

Kneazle now:

Parvati and Lavender both joined the DA when it started. Seamus 
didn't. I think that's pretty courageous for a pair of airheads.
