Potioncat:
That's just it, I would. Gryffindor didn't only produce Dumbledore, James, Lily and Harry Potter. It produced Pettigrew. What Gryffindor's have in common is bravery. Their opinions and abilities are all different. Even the types of courage the members have can vary. Would I judge it only by Pettigrew? No. 

Gryffindor House of Harry's days seems to be a good group of kids, at least from what we see. Gryffindor House from the generation before was a bit sketchy. Young James and Young Sirius weren't too impressive in their behavior--and Pettigrew never lived up to its reputation. I've come to believe he had a sort of courage, but that he really lacked a sense of loyalty.

I think it would be a mistake to think all Gryffindors are as good as Harry.
