Negative Perceptions of Hogwarts Houses

So it is often perceived that Ravenclaws are stuck up, Hufflepuffs are nancy pushovers, and Slytherins are dark/evil/mean, etc.

But…what is ever said about Gryffindor? I’ve never really noticed or seen any negative perceptions said about them? Maybe they are a bit foolhardy, but I’m not sure.

Thoughts, my people?

Well … the only thing I heard was actually from a young Snape, in the flashback during Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows:

 James lifted an invisable sword. “’Gryffindor where dwell the brave at heart’. Like my dad.”

“If you rather be brawny than brainy,” Snape said. 

I like this…this interpretation also lends itself to my thoughts of Gryffindors being a bit foolhardy—brave to a fault, and reckless or hotheaded.

Thanks for your input 🙂

Any other thoughts from anyone else?
