Interesting idea.

I could see Luna switching to Gryffindor.  She has already shown 
many of the qualities of the Gryffindor students by helping Harry 
break into Umbridge's office and the DoM, and by wearing that 
rediculous hat to the quidditch match.  Also, she doesn't seem to be 
very well liked in Ravenclaw (other students are hiding her things), 
so she probably doesn't feel a great attachment to the house.  
Knowing that she has friends in Gryffindor may be enough to convince 
her to switch.
