My misunderstanding, I see. Still, I must also insist that there are many loyal, deserving Gryffindors also serving the regime--our own Headmistress, not the least! And although you seem to indicate you do not like others to speak of it, I do look forward to your own sister's distinguished contributions to Gryffindor's future glory. I will make it my personal responsibility to see that she settles in as quickly and comfortably as possible.
Zeal is a characteristic of Gryffindors, although yes, it can be a double-edged sword. As I mentioned, time and experience tempers this characteristic the best, and fostering this is certainly something the Gryffindor Prefects often discuss amongst themselves. Certainly, as I understand it, many of the Lord Protectors' most trusted public servants, including both Aurors and members of his personal security staff, hail from the House of Gryffindor. In such positions, Gryffindor bravery unquestionably serves the public good.
