The Sorting Hat has sorted assholes like Pettigrew into Gryffindor, so I'm sure you don't have to have all or even most of the qualities of a particular house.

From what I just read on the wiki, the sorting hat puts people in houses depending on the traits they currently admire. Pettigrew admired strong and independent people, which is why he was sorted into Gryffindor. He was a cowardly little shrimp though.
