*To be fair, that might have made sense in the first book where we we were told Slytherin always won and we were naïve enough to think this caused solidarity amongst the other three houses, but six years later Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff are still celebrating the never-ending victory of Gryffindor, so now it’s just stupid.
Perhaps this is a cunning plot on the part of the Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs. Either Egodore will be happy that they've supported Gryffindor or, being old and not terribly interested in most of the school's fate, he will be deceived by the Gryffindor colors they wear and give them whatever they ask for. (This would never work with the Slytherins, of course, because not even red and gold can disguise ugliness evil.)
