I don't know if anyone else notised but . I was just thinking. A lion and a bird is called a griffin. So that's probaly how they named the house griffindor. What do you think? And it is said a lion represent Griffindor
Absolutely correct. The french term is "gryffin d'or" and means golden lion. The griffins were able to take on serpents and other evils of nature.

Good thing Harry was sorted into the correct house so that he could take on the serpents
