...Why is Barbosa and Davy Jones being Gryffindor is ironic?

Elizabeth is Slytheren all the way.
I don't know, Barbossa, being the major asshole he usually is, being the most "heroic" house amused me. Specially when the series protagonist fall into slytherin.
Same goes for our good an ol' friend Jones.
"All you Fascists bound to lose."
Being an asshole doesn't make it ironic that one is a Gryffindor.
I'd put Barbossa in Slytherin anyway, given that one of his defining characteristics as the series went on (especially in the fourth film) is his tendency to out-scheme other people so that he can benefit. Though he is more likely than most of the other characters to use brute force in the end, he is quite cunning and very ambitious (and when not ambitious, at least self-serving).
Jack is better at being cunning than him, but it's still behind a great deal of his actions in the series.
If their actions in Dead Man's Chest are any indication, I'd put Pintel and Ragetti in Slytherin and their Good Counterparts in Hufflepuff.

Yep. Barbossa is a Gryffindor. He is pretty much the main hero of at least the first three films, and the anchor which every other member of the cast, including the two pretty boy male leads, rely upon or revolve around.
Elizabeth's definitely a Slytherin. I'd put Will in Hufflepuff, if anybody.
ophelia, you're breaking my heart
^^ Neither of those are really Gryffindor traits (and Barbossa isn't even really in the second one), though.
And I really doubt he could be considered either Will or Jack's anchors at all. He's Jack's nemesis in the first film, and the person whose scheme brings everyone into the plot in the first film, but that's not really the same thing.
In the third film he leads all the characters on a quest to save Jack, but that's quite specifically for his own reasons and more of an essential step of his plan to defeat his enemies (who the heroes happen to share).

we don't really know that much about what motivates Barbossa. Selfishness? that's not really a house trait.
I'd have to rewatch.
ophelia, you're breaking my heart
I will put it more simply then. Without Barbossa, there would be no Pirates of the Caribbean films. He sets everything in motion. Besides, who says heroes always have to be on the side of Good?
that just makes him the catalyst, tho.
Would that it were so simple.
being on the side of good is part and parcel of being a hero. You're talking about a Villain Protagonist.
^^^ Neither being a hero nor being the catalyst of a plot are Gryffindor traits. ^ That too.
^^^^ Selfishness itself isn't really a trait of any of the houses, per se, but being self-interested is something that leans toward Slytherin. And most of Barbossa's actions, both villainous and heroic, are done in for the sake of self-interest or self-preservation.

Utterly wrong.
And so is that.
I'm more interested why Jones would be a Gryffindor.
Wow, this thread has sit inactive for a while...
Anyway, I guess Jones would be Gryffindor more or less because he doesn't fit in anywhere else.
He deliberately unfair, and though he believes in hard work he only does so because he likes the cruelty of working people harder than necessary - so not Hufflepuff. He's not a big believer in subtlety - more the "overwhelming force" type - and has very little ambition beyond "ruin as many lives as possible," so not Slytherin. And we don't really get to see him show off any wit - though his erudite-ness and learning the organ could suggest studiousness - but probably not Ravenclaw.
On the other hand, he's extremely brave and is fully willing to dive full force into the abyss to stick it to his enemies, so Gryffindor it is.

The last hurrah? Nah, I'd do it again.
This is a title.
Gunnerkrigg Court, you say?
- Antimony Carver - Gryffindor values courage, daring, nerve, and chivalry, all very proactive traits that Annie possesses in abundance, and which define her more than her intelligence or her abilities.
- Reynard - Slytherin, which values ambition, cunning and resourcefulness, and can we expect anything less from everyone's favorite fox-wolf-thing?
- Kat - To no one's surprise, Ravenclaw, which values intelligence, knowledge, and wit.
- Ysengrin - Oddly enough, I see him as Hufflepuff. Hard work, patience, loyalty, and fair play are the name of the game. Coyote-induced instability aside, Ysengrin clearly aspires to these standards, styling himself a general and generally being a calm and collected individual.
- Coyote- Coyote would make his own house. With blackjack. And hookers.

State of Mind
Honestly wasn't expecting that.
"What a century this week has been." - Seung Min Kim
Ciaphas Cain books would be fun to house sort in I think.
Mibbies Ciaphas could be a Slytherin or a Gryffindor, Amberley Vail is totes a Ravenclaw, and Gunner Ferik Jurgen is a Hufflepuff.
I don't think we have one for Ocarina Of Time yet.
- Link: Gryffindor, obviously. Triforce of Courage and all that.
- Zelda: Triforce of Wisdom indicates Ravenclaw, but her steadfastness and eagerness to preemptively take down Ganondorf puts her more squarely in Gryffindor, I think.
- Ganondorf: Slytherin. I feel no need to justify this.
- Rauru: None. The guy has all the personality of an old boot.
- Saria: Hufflepuff. Defined by her unyielding compassion for Link and the forest.
- Darunia: Probably Hufflepuff, thanks to his willingness to put his community and his Sworn Brother before himself; although his hot-blooded demeanor and incredible courage in facing Volvagia unarmed give him shades of Gryffindor as well.
- Ruto: Probably Gryffindor, but Slytherin is another possibility due her nearly-successful efforts to manipulate Link into marrying her.
- Impa: Ravenclaw, no question. Measured, rational, and wise.
- Nabooru: Gryffindor. She really wants to do the right thing and take down a maniacal despot, even though her people as a whole would identify with Slytherin.
- Navi: A friggin' encyclopedia, sure, but she certainly values courage and will not back down in the final battle despite not knowing a thing about Ganon. So I say Gry-HEY LISTEN HEY LISTEN HEY LISTEN
- Talon and Malon: Hufflepuff. Yes, even though Talon is a lazy bum. They are faithful, first and foremost, to the ranch and to their loved ones.
- Ingo: Slytherin. Wrests control away from Talon the first chance he gets, and kisses Ganondorf's ass to save his own cowardly hide.
- Kaepora Gaebora: Ravenclaw, since he's defined only by his knowledge. Do you want to hear what I said again?
