It gets even more complicated! In movie Hogwarts, there were at least two RFYs in that Flying class, judging from blue trim among the kids milling about. 

Maybe we can surmise that for movie Hogwarts: 1) most FY classes have two class sections (possibly three for DADA, as Our Kids seem to be the only House in their DADA classes, and possibly also extra sessions for Flying) and 2) the timetabler integrates the Houses in their classes much more than book Hogwarts, so that *roommates* attend class tracks together, but not all the kids in a particular House/Year. Most class sessions under this schedule would integrate Rooms from at least three Houses.

Thus Our Boys (H/R/D/S/N) and Our Girls (H/L/P/2 others) get Gryffindor Schedule A (GSA), and the Lost GFY boys and girls have a different schedule (B). 

The Slytherin Dorm Room With DCG and The Slytherin Dorm Room With Pansy and Millicent have ended up with a Slytherin Schedule A throwing them much in company with GSA, and any amorphous "other" SFYs get Slytherin Schedule B.

Padma Patil would seem to be among those Ravenclaws who have a Schedule that doesn't intersect with GSA at all.

Perhaps Hufflepuff is a somewhat smaller house in Harry's year, and their schedule is worked to that their FYs are most absorbed into class sections exclusive to Our Kids.
