This is
Tiberius McLaggen, who will grow to become uncle of Comrac McLaggen, and hunting companion of Rufus Scrimgeour. He is at the moment however 7th Year in Gryffindor house, and Keeper for the team (if Miss Molly doesn't mind). He's smart, brave, strong, friendly and outwardly all the best traits of Gryffindor house. He's handsome, kind and often the gentleman, and the teasing flirt, to young women, despite his attraction for the same sex, and he's always got a good word at the ready when other people are feeling low. He's your classic nice guy.
It's all an act. He's brush, manipulative, head-strong and thinks he knows better than anyone, teachers and students both. He doesn't think things through but goes by instinct, and as he has a habit of taking things over and dominating groups, that often means he's no help to situations, and will often abandon things when the start to go sour.
Needless to say, he didn't think he was going to be put into Gryffindor, but apparently he embodies all the worst traits of the house, which happen to be some of the most common traits of Slytherin. Being a Gryffindor, however, means he can get away with far more than a Slytherin can, considering the reputation of that particular house.
He needs friends in his own year, and maybe one or two enemies that know him as he really is, including an ex, perhaps, with whom he's had a messy break up the year before when they worked him out to be a total bastard.
