Answer: Godric Gryffindor

The Sorting Hat mentions in its song in "Goblet of Fire" that the founders had difficulty thinking of a good way to sort new students. Gryffindor came up the idea for the Sorting Hat and thus used his own hat. All of the founders, however, helped give the Sorting Hat its powers to see into people's minds. On Pottermore, J.K. Rowling stated that the hat uses Legilimency to achieve this power.
