Several times it is mentioned that the Sorting Hat is
very large.  I am now listening to CoS again and when
Harry is in Dumbledore's office, he tries it on again
and it slips over his ears AGAIN.  WHY is the hat so
big?  When children are 12, their heads are pretty much
full sized, so one wouldn't expect a normal sized hat
to be that big.  So, either Godrick Griffindor had an
unusually large head or he liked wearing gigantic
hats.  I speculated before that GG may be the half
blood prince - half human, half ???  What else is
very large besides giants and trolls?  Goblins are
small, as are dwarves.  Greek God?  GODrick Griffindor?
