The College of Heralds is much too hip to Harry Potterisms for that. 
 Laurel recently returned "Griffin's Tor" for sounding too much like 
"Gryffindor", which I think is a little too audio-sensitive really.

Did I ever mention my glossary of the Houses of Hogwarts against the 
Peerage Tracks of the SCA?

Gryffindor = The Chivalry, brave and bold
Ravenclaw = The Laurels, masters of lore and learning
Hufflepuff = The Pelicans, hard-working and accomplished
Slytherin = Royal Peerage and Landed Baronage, powerful managers

Interestingly enow, although I'm a Pel, I keep coming up Ravenclaw on 
just about any "Sorting Hat" Quiz that I take.  Well I'm also a 
grant-levil artisan so maybe there is hope.
