Hello, my name is Donna Rae and I'm new on the list.  So if this has already been discussed, forgive the post.  But...didn't the sorting hat suggest that Harry should be a Slytherin?

  I am convinced that the 4 Marauders were in Slytherin.  The major 
  argument for this has been because of Hagrids statement about all the 
  Voldy supporters coming from Slytherin, implying that Sirius Black 
  was a Slytherin (since at that time everyone is convinced that SB is 
  Voldys main man), and also the cultural patterns of friendship at 
  Hogwarts indicate that if Sirius was a Slytherin then all of his 
  Marauder friends were too.  But another argument for this is that it 
  just seems like the sort of nasty little surprise JKR would love to 
  spring on all of us, including Harry.  Cant you just hear Harry 
  saying *My father was in Slytherin?*
