Rejects of only Godric, Rowena and Salazar. As such, 4 houses are not sufficient to sort people on personality traits, I think.

Joey:

 
Though I do tend to think that Salazar would have let Crabbe and Goyle in for thier blood status (after seeing what he did regarding the CoS and Basilisk), I agree with you for the most part and I think the Hat does so because it has the "minds" of *all* four founders (and probably, a mind of its own? If so, remembering Arthur's words, wonder where the Hat keeps its brain. :-))

Cheers,
