I don't think Sherlock is a Slytherin, as ruthless as he is, because he's not interested in power as such. He's interested in the problem. Mycroft (whom I love) is interested in power, and Mycroft is Slytherin to the core.
And John is Gryffindor, I think, because what's key to him is the willingness to take risks, and even a joy in it.
While I agree that the show has sometimes failed badly, I don't think the fail is constant enough to cross the line from "good show with faily moments" to "faily show." But this is a subject on which there is much strong disagreement.
