The last thing I would call Gryffindor is introverted, so how exactly are they melancholic?

They are charismatic and passionate and bits of the Byronic Hero also has high ideals for themselves when it comes to doing the right thing. Melancholic is most times the main character, which is Harry. Gryffindor himself is The leader of the four so I compare his group to him.

I don't know that the houses line up exactly, but I definitely don't see Gryffindor as Melancholic. I'd be more likely to say Gryffindor = Sanguine/Choleric; Slytherin = Choleric/Melancholic; Ravenclaw = Melancholic/Phlegmatic; and Hufflepuff = Phlegmatic/Sanguine.
Harry's the choleric one of the group, and he's the one who could most easily have ended up in Slytherin. (In the same way as melancholic Hermione could have been a Ravenclaw, phlegmatic Neville seems like a Hufflepuff, and sanguine Ron is pure Gryffindor.) That suggests that Slytherin was intended as the choleric house.
I did a Google search, and other people seem to think Gryffindor is House Sanguine, Ravenclaw House Melancholia, and Hufflepuff House Phlegm. I vote for editing the page accordingly.

None of that is convincing but the most important thing is there are no slashes. Something fits one temperament or it doesn't fit at all.
This is how it was most recently written even though short-tempered and reckless is not sanguine. The most welcoming house is sanguine. They're all out of order. People seem to thing that choleric is the bad temperament and sanguine is the good temperament when this isn't a good vs bad trope.
