I couldn't agree more with both you guys here. Don't forget that 
these uniforms are *50 years old* and fashion has a tendency to 
change with the times. Perhaps the uniforms underwent other changes 
as well, such as "bellbottoms" for the 1970's or something. (I'm 
being sarcastic here, but you get my point).

Basically, they put Riddle in a sepia world so that it would look 
like a memory and since we can't tell what house Riddle was in... and 
then in the Chamber his tie is green and you can see the 
Slytherin/Prefect badge on his shoulder. Oh yes... he's a Slytherin.

I wanted to put closure on this topic--instead I've seemed to stir 
the sh!t again! Oops.
