Gryffindor: It seems that everyone wants to be a part of Harry's House, because many people feel that this house of heroes is "the best". However, Gryffindors are more than just brave and heroic souls. Gryffindors often have the weakness of hubris, or a thirst for heroism that is often augmented by a selfish desire for glory. We might think that heroes do everything for the sake of the damsel in distress, but the knight in shining armor is looking for a prize. For example, Peter Pettigrew is an example of a fallen Gryffindor, because his search for an identity as a hero blinded his judgement. Gryffindors are also very intuitive, because they often listen to their hearts rather than the voice of logic. Sometimes there is this gut feeling that a certain decision is right over another one, even though it might not make sense, and however illogical, Gryffindors hold extreme faith in humanity. One of the reasons why Gryffindors make such good heroes is because they give people the benefit of the doubt, and that goes back to the idea that they often listen to their intuition.
I believe that we all have a bit of each House in our blood, but true Gryffindors are valiant, brave, good-hearted, trustful, and just a little bit selfish.
