Heat's a Hufflepuff. You'd think he was Griffindor but all of his actions stem from loyalty to others, not personal desire for glory/to save the day/to make a mark. It's for Sera, for Serph...
Real!Heat: Ravenclaw. He's the one there with interest in pure knowledge as opposed to just application, and while he's willing to let Sera suffer for this somewhat, provided it's her decision and it's minimal, additional suffering to make it more effective is objected to more out of principle than personal loyalty to a little kid.
Real!Serph's a Slytherin. Knowledge, yes, but it's power he's after through and through, and more for power itself than what it does.
As for Serph himself, while he is a leader instead of a follower and not particularity interested in knowledge except for what it means to his people, the difference between Slytherin and Gryffindor is that Slytherins manipulate while Gryffindors do. Slytherins are lords with minions, Gryffindors are leaders in the old sense, as in the person who charges out ahead and some people decide to follow the path they blaze.
Serph just decides thing, and people accept his decisions because they think they're good ones. He's not a control freak: he's quite often willing to let Gale, Argilla, and the others do their jobs and exert large amounts of control over 'his' tribe. The only time we see him overriding someone else as opposed to being called on for the final verdict is during the scene where Roland gives the Junkyard backstory and Gale is about to reject his offer of alliance. He gets Gale's attention with a touch and gives him a look: Gale accepts his decision because he trusts Serph's judgment and gets his reasoning without Serph needing to convince, much less manipulate. He doesn't force them to listen to them or convince them, they do because he's a good leader. He's mute. He'd suck at manipulating people/convincing them. That's what Gale's for.
Argilla... she's trying to understand in the junkyard, but that comes down to why do we have to hurt... she's the one who doesn't want to betray Jinana, eat and hurt others... Hufflepuff.
Sera... no real personal desire to put herself forward and make a mark, nor desire to lead/guide others: she's also a follower. Her knowledge of God comes from empathy, not actual study. Hufflepuff.
Jenna's a researcher, but for purposes of application not knowledge, so no Ravenclaw. While her motivation comes from David that seemed to be her only instance of loyalty, even though she was loyal enough to kill and die over it. Fundamentally a leader, but willing to act as a fake follower. Her in-game actions are Slytherin to the core, but given the flashback sequences and the ending it comes out that it's all for David, in his name and memory. Remind her of David and her ice queen snake front shatters to peices. That's insane loyalty and devotion. Hufflepuff. True, Slytherins claim loyalty to the Dark Lord, but it's more to what his leadership means to them/society: what they get out of it, mostly. The fourth book one... his fanatic devotion was genuine, but born out of his own needs/interests.
Adil's certainly got great personal courage, and he's loyal to Roland but less to Roland himself than to the cause. He's not a fake subordinate, but he's not a natural subordinate. Gryffindor. He's 'following' Roland because he's a good strategist and the titular commander. Adil leads Lokapala troops in the field: there on the front lines by inclination and Gryffindor. Hesitant to deal with anything Dark, even.
Fred: Gryffindor. We first encounter him as leader of an incredibly dangerous search for another Lokapala kid.
