Tsk, tsk. All cunning is animalistic and base (and all non-cunning intelligence is useless and cold-blooded.) If Prime Minister was really smart, he'd know that all the right answers are found...in your heart. Gryffindors practically embody truthiness. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truthiness)
I imagine even the woman who sells sweeties on the train or Petunia's friend Yvonne are totally obsessed with not appearing cowardly.
I find it depressing that I can't even imagine a character, good or evil, that doesn't give a rat's ass if someone thinks they're a coward. Even the so-called "cowardly" characters like Draco get offended if their bravery is called into question. Of course, JKR is the author who thinks Harry's "your mom"esque insults are the epitome of wittiness, so maybe they'll get offended at anything.
