Who decides what House a student enters?
Answer Sorting Hat
Originally, the four Hogwarts founders chose what house each new student would belong to, but eventually they realized someone else would need to do it after they died. So Godric Gryffindor imbued a hat with magical sorting abilities and since then, it has been the vessel for the founders' wisdom, assigning each new student to their ideal Hogwarts House.
