Agreed. Percy is another good example: he is ambitious, somewhat 
cunning, and extremely smart, as shown by his grades. He could fit 
into Ravenclaw or Slytherin as well as Gryffindor. I think the key is 
that each house will prove the best fit for each character, and at 
that moment of truth when true colors shine, we'll see *why* each 
character landed where they did. We'll probably see Percy do 
something very noble in the near future, that may even involve *gasp* 
breaking the rules...
