Well, if you use that kind of reasoning, then you could put anyone in Ravenclaw. My rationale for sending Rapunzel to Hufflepuff and Hiccup to Ravenclaw is that everyone has a bit of every House in them. It's just that one House is usually more dominant than the others. While Rapunzel may be smart, that's not what we recognize and love her for--it's her compassion and sense of wonder and determination. That's a Hufflepuff. Hiccup can be a bit prickly sometimes (due to his time as the village laughingstock) and while he can be nice when he wants to, he prefers to spend time by himself, thinking, inventing, trying to make the world a better place and trying to understand how things work. He has a natural thirst for knowledge and is always saying to himself, "How can I make this better?" That is definitely Ravenclaw.
