I posted a part of this as the answer to another question but I believe that it is a valid question in its own right.

We know from the first train journey in HPatPS (SS) that Hermione would have been OK with either Ravenclaw or Gryffindor, (I hear that Gryffindor's the best....but I suppose that Ravenclaw wouldn't be too bad). So Hermione went to the sorting with no definate House fixed in her mind.

She is the cleverest Witch in eons and the Sorting hat put her in Gryffindor Why?

I can think of two reasons:

Either she is braver than she is clever. No doubting that she is a very brave girl but she is also exceptionaly clever, still maybe it's this? 

Or the sorting hat put in Gryffindor because it knew that that would be where she would be needed. Was she put there to help Harry?  

We know that the Sorting Hat does a lot more than just sort First Years. 

She definately appears to be where she needs to be.

Can someone else come up with any other ideas? Please!
