In every scene in which a student tries on the Sorting Hat, which
supposedly belonged to Godric Gryffindor before the original four
started using it to sort the new students, the hat slips down over 
the student's eyes, indicating that it is too big for them.   Why is it 
so large?   Adults' heads aren't significantly larger than the heads 
of 11 year olds.   As far as we know Gryffindor was a normal wizard, 
i.e., he was not part giant, but why would his head be so extraordinarily 
large?   The original "Big-Head Boy"?
