Actually she said James shared his money with Lupin, not Sirius.

quarters?

Carol responds:

Or maybe Hannah took over the Hog's Head after old Aberforth died and
made it less of a pig sty. Erm, goat barn. Or whatever goats live in.
At any rate, I'd like to think that Madam Rosmerta, who's probably not
all that much older than the Marauders and Snape, lived on and kept
her position with no punishment or other bad consequences for having
been the victim of Draco's Imperius Curse.

As for calling a Hogsmeade bar (whether it's the Hog's Head or the
Three Broomsticks- -hey! Is that why Rosmerta had several brooms handy
beside her door when Harry and DD needed them to fly to the tower?), I
think it's just another indication of JKR's absent-mindedness. (She
also evidently said that James shared his money with Sirius,
forgetting all the gold in Sirius's vault, not to mention the shabby
treatment implied by forgetting poor unemployed Lupin.) It's like
slipping and calling your mother by your sister's name. Or even
calling her by your brother's name. The kind of thing I would do. (I
only notice that I've called Voldemort "Dumbledore" or Harry "snape"
*after* I've hit Send.

Anyway, I'm sure that JKR meant one of the Hogsmeade bars considering
that Neville is canonically a Hogwarts teacher. Or maybe she's
forgotten that, too.

Carol, giving JKR the benefit of a doubt in this instance but still
wishing she'd take a year-long, interview-free vacation in Majorca--
Make that Nepal--and leave us to interpret the books without her help
