The picture referred to above was a behind the scenes photo taken on set 
someplace during filming.  It was a jacket (suit coat type jacket) with the 
Slytherin emblem.  Now, hypothesize for just a moment.  On the very distant 
outside chance that Riddle was indeed in another house, wouldn't it be likely 
that JKR would not want that bit of information broadcast in the movie?  Let 
alone in a photo during filming.  Theoretically they could've had a different 
uniform for him to where around the set during which time lurking photographers 
would be snapping pictures and then a semi-neutral uniform in the movie.  
Thought the action figure and Lego figure is most definitely Slytherin.

Well, most people had no trouble believing Hagrid or Harry were opening the 
chamber and they were both in Gryffindor.

I think it was the International trailer, not in the actual movie.  There was a 
moment, in Flourish and Blotts, when they were a vibrant green.

Yes, but it's what she wrote.  The only people (unless I've had a recent mental 
block) that ever mention what house Voldemort was in are Hagrid and Ron.  
Dumbledore has clearly stated that very few knew Riddle became Voldemort. Some 
thing Hagrid is one of the few because he was framed by Riddle.  I, on the 
other hand, think that is precisely why Hagrid would not know.  Dumbledore I 
think would believe it best for him not to know.  IMHO, which could easily be 
wrong.  Second, I really doubt the Weasleys knew that Riddle was Voldemort.  
Prior to the end of CoS, of course.  So by having people state that Voldemort 
was in Slytherin could be because that's the "rumor" in the WW, a rumor so 
often stated it is taken as fact.  But whether it's true or not, who knows.  It 
could've come from the fact that so many Slytherins wound up as DE's, or it 
could be true.  One way or another, I'm determined that someone really good 
came from Slytherin and someone really bad from Gryffindor.
