Potioncat:
It is canon that House follows one even beyond life. 
But I cannot find the canon that says that DD was ever a Head of any 
House. I cannot find canon that he was in Gryffindor. I don't think 
there is canon that he was Deputy Headmaster.

We know he taught transfigurations; that he seemed to weld authority 
over some policies; that he became Headmaster.

I have no doubt that he was Head of Gryffindor. I just don't see the 
canon. I think Hermione's statement is intended as canon for his 
being Gryffindor, but I accept that Miles has a point that it isn't a 
firm statement.

It's just a bit of LOONacy on my part, inspired by Miles.
