I've had some, ahem, heated arguments with people over this before but yeah, I agree with you. I always wondered how it was Hermione ended up in Gryffindor. Usually the opposing argument I hear is that she had Gryff traits that wouldn't emerge until later, but then - why Dumbledore's remark about sorting too early? I think Hermione's more Gryffindorish traits were more of a result of being surrounded by Gryffindors all the time. If she had been sorted into Ravenclaw, I just can't see Hermione getting involved with Harry and Ron at all. Perhaps later, with the DA, but not before.
