Interesting point--but I'd argue that those are characters who serve a particular purpose in JKR's storyline and don't necessarily epitomize the traits of their house, in the same way that Crabbe and Goyle aren't very good examples of Slytherin cunning & ambition.
I also think it comes down to a matter of Spock himself--he's a Vulcan, not human, and no house at Hogwarts is going to describe his Vulcan logic because it's not a human trait. The closest Hogwarts can come is the knowledge-seeking Ravenclaw. Put another way: Kirk is constantly asking that Spock "elaborate" or "analyze." To which House would you turn with that question?
And then of course, there's the pon farr...so even if you think Ravenclaws are an emotional bunch, maybe Spock would fit in there after all! *giggles*
