Try to change my mind

no he was in gryffindor

Look on google

I did, but don't you think this seems more realistic?

Tom might have broke into the gryffindor common room. Also, Tom was a prefect, and prefects are legit famous at hogwarts.

Yes but what about people like Hagrid?

He should be famous for being so big, you know.

I stand by what I say

Ok. I'm just pointing out the facts.

he was but he was chucked out before it made him a bad guy

He seems like a hufflepuff

He should have been, but the author decided just about anyone important should be either Gryffindor if they are nice, or Slytherin if they weren't 🙄
