Goddlefrood:

You're correct that it is not specifically  stated, however it 
is implicit that she was in Slytherin due to Sirius's statement 
that he was the first Black not to be in Slytherin. Andromeda 
was a Black, ergo she was in Slytherin, unless she's younger 
than Sirius, which is not the case iirc.

She looks like Bellatrix, a fact that can be found in the books 
and not only at the Lexicon, When Harry first sees her his reaction 
is one of revulsion due to her striking likeness to Bellatrix. 
It is only when she steps into a little more light that Harry 
sees that she is not completely like Bella.

There's really not a lot to go on in the books regarding Andromeda, 
excepting she was liked by Sirius and her sisters were Narcissa and 
Bella.

Sirius's name could have been blasted off the family tapestry 
either when he was sorted into Gryffindor or when he left home.
