zanooda:

Yes, really, why :-)? I mean, she certainly could have been a
Ravenclaw, but, come on, she is in the Order, she fights in every
battle that ever happened at Hogwarts, and I personally think it was
incredibly brave of her to stand up like that to Umbridge in OotP and
to Carrow in DH. This is something I myself wouldn't be able to do,
ever, so I believe it's courage, and nothing else :-).


Oryomai:

Gee...I didn't imagine I'd get so many questions about this question!
I guess I never saw her as overtly brave.  She might be a different 
kind of brave than the rest of the Gryffindors. I just never think of 
her in the same way that I think of Harry, Dumbledore, and company.  
She seems to be more on the brains side of the operation.  I don't have 
any solid reason to think that she's not brave, she just never struck 
me as a dashing brave character.
