Miles:
We do not know that Dumbledore was in Gryffindor, do we? <snip> 
Hermione states, that she *heard* it. We know her, don't we? She 
doesn't *know* it, if so, she would say it, so it's a rumour.


Bookworm:
During an interview (on the CoS DVD, maybe?), one of the things JKR 
said was that Dumbledore and Hermione speak with the voice of 
authority.  Whenever she wants to give information, they are the two 
characters who can deliver it convincingly.  So if Hermione said 
Dumbledore was in Gryffindor, it is likely fact, not rumor.
