Where dwell the brave at heart,
Their daring, nerve and chivalry
Set Gryffindors apart"

Chapter Seven, page 118
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
Gryffindor House was founded by Grodric Gryffindor when Hogwarts began.
Their mascot is a lion and the house colors are scarlet and gold.
Its common room is located in Gryffindor Tower and the entrance is guarded by the Fat Lady on the 7th floor.
The Fat Lady needs to be told the correct password for admittance into the common room. The password changes every term.
"Gryffindor emphasises the traits of courage as well as 'daring, nerve, and chivalry,'
and thus its members are generally regarded as brave,
though sometimes to the point of recklessness." Source: http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Gryffindor
The Gryffindors have had an alleged rivalry with the Slytherin house since Hogwarts had been fonded.
Although, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff tend to side with Gryffindor on matters in the rivalry between the two houses.
The house ghost for Gryffindor is Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington, or also referred to as 'Nearly Headless Nick'.
