Kemper now:
I agree that students are chosen according to the trait they value, but they don't need to possess it.

Neville barraged by stories of valor and bravery by his mom and pops.  Ok, maybe not canon, but going every christmas to see his brave parents may have influenced Neville to want that ideal in himself.

G House was most suited for meeting Neville's ideal self, granting him opportunities to be brave.  

Peter may have valued bravery at one point but didn't take those opportunities to be brave when presented while in the House of Gryffidor.
