As for clear-cut, the big red herring in the series isn't Dumbledore, it's Hermione.
She seems like a textbook Ravenclaw with her interest in textbooks. But the issue is, it's not being geeky alone that makes a Ravenclaw.
Hermione is passionate. It's just that her passion involves learning. She's very impulsive and she wants to do stuff with what she learns. She's a Gryffindor who has grasped the concept that knowledge is power. She's charging ahead chasing the shiny ideal, it's just that for her part of that ideal is something associated with the opposite house.
She's like Roland & Jenna, who at first glance seem like the opposite of what they are.
