Actually, it's fairly standard in British boarding schools to be
distinguished by house. Of course, in most schools, the boarding houses are
actually houses (albeit large ones) in different buildings rather than
different sections of one castle.

For instance, in my school we had different ties for each house, as do the
Hogwartsites. 

Admittedly, on the school blazers that everyone wore, the emblem was the
school crest (a grumpy-looking sea monster purporting to be a dolphin).

Bleh. But I'm half right :D
