I definitely agree. He has multiple characteristics of a slytherin, and in my opinion he and riddle are very much alike. I think the main reason he chose Gryffindor was because he lacked bravery and thought being in the house would teach him to be.
sorry this took me so long, I've been so lazy today. but yeah, I think that could be part of it as well. because in his mind he would've seen that he already had basically all of the qualities of Slytherin and the necessary ones of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, but bravery was still something he needed.
