Yb thinks:
I think the relationship of Godric Gryffindor and red is being 
established by all the reds mentioned with Gryffindor. The house 
colors are red and gold, I think the mascot is a red lion, red is the 
color of royalty (and who has been "king" of the House cup for the 
past few years? Gryffindor!). Red hair just seems to fit GG: bold, a 
little hot-tempered, and he was the leader of the founders it seems, 
so he was the "king" of the group. Granted there is no canon to 
support GG having red hair, but maybe red wasn't just his favorite 
color?
