I immediately placed Lupin, Sirius, and James in Gryffindor. Rowling
hasn't mentioned which house Sirius and Lupin were in, but in this
interview http://www.scholastic.com/harrypotter/author/transcript2.htm,
states that James was the Gryffindor Chaser. Lily was also in
Gryffindor.

Sirius knew the layout of the Gryffindor tower, as we found out in PoA,
so I think it's a safe bet that he too was in Gryffindor. The Lexicon
has also placed Sirius, Lupin, and Peter in Gryffindor.
