The way I've always looked at it, the general impression that I've gotten from various thing said was that JKR lets them alone unless they're doing something that counteracts a future plot point.  Such as with the thing of James' Quidditch position.  Apparently, that doesn't really matter in the scope of things

This is the first I've seen of this quote.  It makes me wonder if he had made a reference to Sirius' house at Hogwarts?  Since a lot was made of houses during the first movie.

Speaking of houses, I know Lego is even farther from Canon than movies are, but I found it interesting.  Instead of using the generic Hogwarts uniform on Riddle as was done in the movie, they used the basic Slytherin uniform, same as Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle have.
