I think the bird is a raven, but is sometimes shown in gold so it looks eagle like. Otherwise every picture I could find was a black raven.
A lion represents bravery- the trait of Gryffindor House. A lion best suits that (Gryffindor is not a literal Griffon)
Hufflepuff is a badger- so what does one have to do with the other?
Slytherin matches snake very well- of course.
