"I somehow doubt that Lily and James Potter were in Slytherin, and I
think that they most likely were in Griffyndor. I think, though, that
Snape was in Slytherin while he was there. "

I have always thought that the details we have got of Lily would make
her more likely to be Ravenclaw. We are told that Snape and James were
in the same year (but the comments about the Serverus / James situation
being like Harry / Draco makes it likely this is the case) and we are
also told the names of quite a few of Snape's year that were members of
Slytherin. This means that the Marauders were in one of the other houses
and I would guess that they were in the same one.

"I remember that when Lupin and Sirius spoke of Peter in Harry Potter
and the Prisoner of Azkaban I was reminded of Neville. <snip> I feel
Neville would make a different choice than Peter."

I would hope so after the information that we were given about his
parents. This totally amazed me and was one of the most unexpected
questions answered by book 4 (I am still calling it this - it has
become such a natural description I seem unable to move over to using
the proper title).

"Isn't speculating fun?"

Another year of speculation coming up and almost all of it will be wrong
if book 4 is anything to go by!
